It Happened Just That Way Lyrics - Roger Miller

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
