Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a café where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said no, would you come home to me

/ D - - G / / A - D - / Bm A G - / D - / A - D - /

{Refrain}
And she said, hey ramblin' boy, why don't you settle down
Boston ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

/ D AD / / D - G - / Em A D - /

Please come to Denver with the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains so far that we can't be found
And throw "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And then lie awake at night till they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said no, boy, would you come home to me

{Refrain, with Denver}

{Bridge}
Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I still need to cling to
Somebody I can sing to

/ Bm A / G D / Bm A / G - / Em - / A - /

Please come to LA to live forever
California life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to LA
She just said no, boy, won't you come home to me

{Refrain with LA can't be...}

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

He was a dreamer and She had a grip on reality..

[justgonnastay]

This song always used to piss me off. Here's this guy, out there, doing stuff, following whims, seeing America, appreciating what else it out there, and his girlfriend gives him crap about it, like there's nothing better than HER in the whole country!

Now that I have an amazing wife and kids, who I believe there really is nothing better than in the whole country, it makes me sad I didn't ramble a little more in my misspent youth.

Life is funny that way.

Please come to Cleveland I once asked this beautiful girl I met on the Amtrak train coming back to Ohio from San Diego, when I was out there partying my ass off. She said no, And my life went another direction, probably for the best. But here's to you, beautful.

@CaptNemo100 Ah ha..the traditional Christmas eve oyster stew....

[CaptNemo100]

Here I am on Christmas Eve fixing oyster stew.....for some reason I thought of Boston clam chowder and this marvelous song popped into my head from somewhere in the back of my mind. The youtube time machine rules.

This song, and the deep convictions of both parties involved, speak so much to me. I would posit that the ramblin' happening here can be applied to so many of life's complex situations. I am deeply, and forever, in love with a woman who I have been separated from largely through my own inability to "come home." This is a one in 3 billion woman, a completely perfect fit for me in every way , and if everyone on the planet could only know 1/10th the joy she brings me, entire wars would end...

@bjm6345original I must be losing my mind! Believe it or not this song just popped into my head about a week ago. I don't own a radio now and have been around them on a limited basis in the past. I saw your comment, but I didn't want to respond.....because you have a BACA video on your channel. I write articles against child prostitution....BACA around here I'm not sure what they represent. OK I said it! What the hell?

[bjm6345original]

This song just popped up in my mind. Haven't heard or even thought about it in years. Would have been 11 then. Was a favorite

[stephenwaynereno]

I absolutely adore this song (“Please Come To Boston”)and have for years and years and years (literally since the very first time I heard it performed by the multi-talented Joan Baez herself during the 70s. Thank You so very much for posting it.

So I was 20 when this song came out. My family had moved to LA from Chicago less than 10 years before. When I heard the line "an LA life alone is just too hard to build" I knew exactly what he meant. Truer words were never sung or spoken.

This was one of my mom's favorite songs. She passed last week and I heard it today playing on the radio in a grocery store. Just had to come home and listen to it again.
