Roger Miller Lyrics
"Stephen Foster"

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
