Here is a song Jody should know, King Of The Road Roger Miller 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 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 King of the road. One of my favorites but for some reason it did not come to my mind till now. It makes me remember a song my dad used to sing as well when we went out as a family and that was something like, "We ain't got a barrell of money" ................................honey, just singing this song and getting along by n by. or something like that.
Could this be the one you were thinking of Andy? The Song: "Side by side" Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money, Maybe we're ragged and funny, But we'll travel along, Singing a song, Side by side. Tho' we don't know What's coming tomorrow, Maybe it's trouble and sorrow, But we'll travel the road Sharin' our load, Side by side. Thru all kinds of weather, What if the sky should fall, Just as long as we're together, It really doesn't matter at all, When they've all had their quarrels and parted, We'll be the same as we started, Just travelling along, Singing a song, Side by side. I'll bet that brings back good memories!
It even brought a tear to my eye and this is from a guy who doesn't cry. Yeah that had my dad's voice singing in my head again. Grew up with love and little else but who needed anything else. Thanks alot. Now I'm going to copy, paste and print it out.
