King Of The Road

King Of The Road - Tennessee Ernie Ford

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 pushing 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 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

King of the road

I know every engineer on every train

All of their children and all of their names

Every handout in every town

Every lock that ain't locked

When no one's around

I sing
