It Happened Just That Way - Roger Miller

It Happened Just That Way Lyrics

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
Well-aI 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 rainedWell-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
Well-aI 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 backWell-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that wayAnd 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 worldWell-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
A-well-a yeah yeah yeah yeah, it happened just that way
