Rooms to let - 50 cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets,
Ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
Two hours of pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
He's a man of means by no means
King of the road.
Third box car midnight train
Destination bangor, maine
Old worn-out suits and shoes,
Don't pay no union dues.
He smokes old stogies he has found
Short, but not too big around
He's a man of means by no means
King of the road
(he knows) every engineer on every train
All of their children and all of their names
And every hang-out in every town
Every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around.
I say, trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let - 50 cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets,
Ain't got no cigarettes.
I've got two hours of pushing broom
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room
He's a man of means by no means
King of the road.
King of the road.
King of the road.
King of the road.
Trailers for sale or rent, Rooms to let - 50 cents, No phone, no pool, no pets, Ain't got no cigarettes, ah but Two hours of pushing broom Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room He's a man of means by no means King of the road. Third box car midnight train Destination bangor, maine Old worn-out suits and shoes, Don't pay no union dues. He smokes old stogies he has found Short, but not too big around He's a man of means by no means King of the road (he knows) every engineer on every train All of their children and all of their names And every hang-out in every town Every lock that ain't locked When no one's around.

I've got two hours of pushing broom Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room He's a man of means by no means King of the road. King of the road. King of the road. King of the road. Explain Request ×
