Please come to Boston, wasn't there another song from the girls point of view?

I seem to remember a song that was from the girls point of view, where she was trying to get him to come back? Anybody remember the name of the song.

Update:

Thanks for the answer but it wasn't her cover of the song, I just listened to it.

Update 2:

Of course it could be someone else covered it and I'm just mis-remembering it as a answer song. I don't think so but after so many years anything is possable.

    Actually that song can be easily gender-flipped. Joan Baez recorded it, f'rinstance. What she did was to swap places, so instead of where a male would sing,

    "(I said) Please come to Boston,

    She said, 'No, you come home to me.'"

    ... she sings,

    "(He said) Please come to Boston,

    I said, 'No, you come home to me.'"

    ... etc.

    But if there is a "sequel" song to this one, I'd be interested to know that. Hope somebody out there knows!

    Additional Details:

    It didn't sound like you meant the Baez cover, but I just wanted to toss that your way, as maybe another piece of the puzzle. But as for an 'answer' song, I totally don't know, so I hope someone will step up who does.
