The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born

He's gonna be a son of a gun...
Before I was born
I got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun...
Hear My Train a Comin'
A whole lotta people put me down
My girl done called me a disgrace...
Tears burnin', tears burnin' me, tears burning me way down in my heart
well you know It's too bad little girl, it's too bad, too bad we have to part

Richie Valens mural @ Pacoima middle school in the San Fernando Valley (city of Los Angeles)
Richie Valens (Valenzuela) was born and raised in Pacoima and attended Pacoima middle school.
He died when he was only 17 years old, however he earned a number of gold records including
"La Bamba" and "Donna". I originally painted this mural in 1985.
In 2009 we completely restored this mural during the hot San Fernando Valley summer of 2009.
