KING OF THE ROAD      Roger Miller

No 'phone, no food, no pets,

 I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but

 Two hours of pushing brooms buys a

 Eight-by-twelve four-bed room.

I'm a man of means, by no means a
D            G
 King of the road.


Third box-car, midnight train,
Destination Bangor, Maine.
Old worn-out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no Union dues, I smoke
Old Stogies I have found,
Short but not too big around.
I'm a man of means, by no means a
King of the road.

       A                 D
I know every engineer on every train,
    E                         A
And all of their children and all of their names,
                     D
And every handout in every town
    E
And every lock that ain't locked and no-one's around, I sing...
