Dang Me.....
Anybody remember the words to this song? I was out feeding the horses this morning and this song popped into my head. I just can't remember the words.....[:(][8D]

Well here I sit, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman sittin' home with a month old child
CHORUS:
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.
Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought, and I bought five
Spent the groceries and half the rent
Like fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents.
(CHORUS)
They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple
Well I'm the seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol
I'm a son of a gun.

Someone Google "King of the Road" for me.
Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but..two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination...Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out clothes 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
King of the road.
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.
I sing,
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means

I have always liked Roger Miller.
"Like fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents."
I thought this line was, "I lack fourteen dollars from having twenty seven cents."
When Southerners say "lack" it sounds like the word "like."0 -
I agree Allen it was "I lack $14 of having 27 cents. 0 -

I think it starts out:
Here I sit high, gettin' ideas, ain't nuthin' but a fool to live like this
And then later he says:
I like $14.00 havin' 27 cents
They say Roger was a fountain of great ideas.
He was always saying things that blew people away...
One of his best serious songs was "The Last Word In Lonesome Is Me".0
