Roger Miller - It Happened Just That Way Lyrics

Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
A-well-a
Yea yea yea yea
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 tellin' me every time it rained

Well-a
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
A-well-a
Yea yea yea yea
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
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well
Yea yea yea yea
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 othern was a woman of the world

Well-a
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
A-well-a
Yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way

Well-a
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
It happened just that way

Yea yea yea yea (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Well yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah yeah)
Yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
