v.1
Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let -- 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, aint got no cigarettes
Ah but, 2 hours of pushin' broom buys a 8 by 12 four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road

v.2
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn-out suit-n-shoes, I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found, short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road

Refrain:
I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, an' all of their names
An' every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked when no-one's around
I sing...
