Boomers Story

Written by Traditional

	  		
 

 G/D 
Come and gather all around me 

Listen to my tale of woe 
D 
Got some good advice to give you 

Lots of things you oughta know 
G/D 
Take a tip from one who's travelled 

And never stopped a-ramblin' 'round 
       C 
'Cause once you get the roamin' fever 
     G                       Em 
You never want to settle down, boy 
D                         G 
You never want to settle down 


 
 G/D 
I met a little gal in Frisco 

And I asked her to be my wife          D 
Told her I was tired of roamin' 

Goin' to settle down for life 
 G/D 
Then I heard the whistle blowin' 

And I knew it was the Red Ball Train 
      C 
And I left that gal beside the railroad 
    G                       Em 
And never saw that gal again, boy 
D                     G 
I never saw that gal again 
C 
Saw that gal again 
G 
I never saw that gal again 
                              Em 
Left that gal beside the railroad 
D                     G 
I never saw that gal again 



G/D 
Traveled all over the country 

I've traveled everywhere 
 D 
Been on every branch line railroad 

I never paid a nickel fare 
 G 
I been from Maine to Californy 

From Canada to Mexico 
D 
And I never tried to save no money 
G                            Em 
And now I got no place to go, boy 
  D                   G 
Now I got no place to go 



G/D 
Listen to a boomer's story 

Pay attention to what I say 
D 
I hear another train a-comin' 

Guess I'll be on my way 
 G 
If you wanna do me a favor 

When I lay me down and die 
C 
Just dig my grave beside the railroad 
   G                          Em 
So I can hear the trains go by, boys 
  D                          G 
So I can hear the trains go by 



C 
Hear the trains go 
G 
I can hear the trains go by 
                                 Em 
Just dig my grave beside the railroad 
    D                       G 
So I can hear the trains go by
