GTrailer for Csale or rent,

D7Rooms to let Gfifty cents.

No phone, no Cpool, no pets

I D7ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but Gtwo hours of Cpushin' broom

Buys an D7eight by twelve Gfour-bit room

I'm a G7man of Cmeans by no means

D7King of the Groad.

 

GThird boxcar, Cmidnight train,

D7Destination GBangor, Maine.

Old worn out Csuits and shoes,

I D7don't pay no union dues,

I smoke Gold stogies CI have found

D7Short, but not too Gbig around

I'm a G7man of Cmeans by no means

D7King of the Groad.

 

I know Gevery engineer on Cevery train

D7All of their children, and Gall of their names

And Gevery handout in Cevery town

And D7every lock that ain't locked when no one's around.

Ah, but Gtwo hours of Cpushin' broom

Buys an D7eight by twelve Gfour-bit room

I'm a G7man of Cmeans by no means
