Trail-er for sale or rent
Rooms to let fif-ty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cig-a-rettes,
Ah, but two hours of push-ing broom,
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
Third box-car, mid-night train
Des-ti-na-tion Ban-gor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no un-ion dues,
I smoke old sto-gies I have found
Short, but not too big a-round
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
I know ev-er-y en-gi-neer
on ev-er-y train
All of the child-ren,
and all of their names
And ev-er-y hand-out in ev-er-y town
And ev-'ry lock that ain't locked
When no one's a-round.
I sing,
Trail-er for sale or rent
Rooms to let fif-ty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cig-a-rettes,
Ah, but two hours of push-ing broom,
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road.
