Joan Baez Please Come to Boston (Live)

Please come to Boston in the springtime

I'm staying here with some friends and they've got lots of room

You can sell your paintings out on the sidewalk

By a café where I hope that I'll be working soon

Please come to Boston, I said "No

Won't you come home to me?"

 

I said "Rambling 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"

 

Please come to Denver with the snowfall

We'll move up into the mountains so far we can't be found

I'll shout "I love you" echoes into the canyons

And then lie awake at night till they come back around

Please come to Denver, but I said "No

Won't you come home to me?"

 

I said "Rambling boy, why don't you settle down?

Denver 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"

 

Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round

I doubt if it's ever gonna stop

But of all the dreams I've lost and found

And all that I ain't got

I still need to cling to somebody I can sing to

 

Please come to L.A. and live forever

A California life alone is just too hard to build

I got a house that looks out over the ocean

And some stars that fell from the sky, I'm living up on the hill

Please come to L.A., but I said "No

Won't you come home to me?"

 

I said "Rambling boy, why don't you settle down?

L.A. 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

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