Roger Miller - It Happened Just That Way lyrics

rate me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way

Well-a

I was born in a boomer's shack

'Bout that far from the railroad track

Choo-choo rattled my window pane

Sheet-iron roof tells me every time it rained

Well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way

Well-a

I went to a one-room school

Walked to and from the school

I carried lunch in a paper sack

It was one mile over and two miles back

Well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way

And now my brother worked hard in the grain

Poppa drove a choo-choo train

One sister was a righteous girl

But the other 'un' was a woman of the world

Well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
