Stephen Foster Lyrics - Roger Miller

Well I was riding to the city 

and my horse broke down, do-dah, do-dah 

Blacksmith lived on the other side of town 

Oh do-dah day 

Well I'm gwan to run all night 

Yes I'm gwan to run all day 

I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time 

That's all I've got to say 

Well a nickel is a nickel 

and a dime is a dime, do-dah, do-dah 

You can't make a dollar sittin' down all the time 

Oh do-dah day 

Well I'm gwan to run all night 

Yes I'm gwan to run all day 

I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time 

That's all I've got to say 

Well I got to the city 

and I went downtown, do-dah, do-dah 

Cotton went up and it all came down 

Oh do-dah day 

Well I'm gwan to run all night 

Yes I'm gwan to run all day 

I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time 

That's all I've got to say 

I got a room full of people 

and a handful of friends, do-dah, do-dah 

That's how it goes and that's how it ends 

Oh do-dah day 

Well I'm gwan to run all night 

Yes I'm gwan to run all day 

I think Stephen Foster was ahead of his time 

That's all I've got to say
