Best Of Roger Miller

Well, you dad-gum government
You sorry so 'n' so's
You got your damn hands in every pocket
Of my clothes

Well you dad-gum, dad-gum, dad-gum government
Oh don't you know
Oh don't you love 'em sometimes

Well you dad-gum government
You better pay attention
You're sittin' up there like a fool's convention
Well you dad-gum, dad-gum, dad-gum government
Oh don't you know
Oh don't you love 'em sometimes

Well you soul selling no-good
Son-of-a-shoe-fittin' firestarters
I ought to tear your no good
Perambulatory bone frame
And nail it to your government walls
All of you, you bastards

You da-gum government
You sorry rackafratchits
You got yourself an itch a
And you want me to scratch it
Well you dad-gum, dad-gum, dad-gum government
Of don't you know
Oh don't you love 'em sometime

Well you soul selling no-good
Son-of-a-shoe-fittin' firestarters
I ought to tear your no good
Perambulatory bone frame
And nail it to your government walls
All of you, you bastards

Well, you dad-gum government
You sorry so 'n' so's
You got your damn hands in every pocket
Of my clothes
Well you dad-gum, dad-gum, dad-gum government
Oh don't you know
Oh don't you love 'em sometimes

I'm giving up on you
And i've been feeling that way for a day or two
Somehow i think you know good and well why
I sit here all alone, cryin'

Indian giver
You give your heart to mebut then
You wanna take it back again
Indian giver i give in

I'll go away somewhere
And wether or not you miss me, i won't care
And somehow i think you know good and well why
I won't be cryin' when i say goodbye

Indian giver
You give your heart to mebut then
You wanna take it back again
Indian giver i give in

I'll be satisfied
When i know you know all the tears i've cried
Somehow i think you know good and well we
Could've been together for eternity

Indian giver
You give your heart to mebut then
You wanna take it back again
Indian giver i give in

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River i love you, don't you care

If you're on the run winding someplace
Just trying to find the sun
Whether the sunshine, whether the rain
River i love you just the same

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things i treasure
Hell, that ain't no way to measure
Why i love you more than i did the day before

River in the rain
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away somewhere
River i love you, don't you care

But sometimes in a time of trouble
When you're out of hand
And your muddy bubbles roll across my floor
Carrying away the things i treasure
Hell, that ain't no way to measure
Why i love you more, than l did the day before

River in the rain,
Sometimes at night you look like a long white train
Winding your way away from me
River i've never seen the sea

Well, i always heard but i ain't to sure
That a man's best friend is a mangy cur
I kinda favor the hog myself
How about a hand for the hog

Ya say, a hog ain't nothin' but a porky thing
Little forked freet with a nosy ring
Pickle them feet folks
How about a hand for the hog

If you took a notion i'll bet
A good hog would make a hell of a pet
You could teach him to ride and hunt
You could clean him up and let him sit up front

In the scheme of things the way things go
You might get bit by the old fido
But not by the gentle porker friend.
How about a hand for the hog

A feller and a hog had a comedy act
The feller was terrible as a matter of fact
That hog was a funny sucker though
How about a hand for the hog

If you took a notion i bet
You could teach a hog to smoke a cigarette
Well it might take a little bit of time
But hell, what's time to a hog

Well, the way i see it' it looks like this
Either you ain't or either you is
A true blue lover of the swine, folks
How about a hand for the hog

Some hearts have all the fun
They fall in love with one
And once is all it takes
Some hearts get all the breaks

Some people never cry
Life just goes flying by
They don't make no mistakes
Some hearts get all the breaks

Then there are foolish hearts like mine
Time after time, and time again
They play the game
But they never seem to win

I guess i'll never learn
Some hearts got love to burn
I guess that's what it takes
Some hearts get all the breaks

Then there are foolish hearts like mine
Time after time, and time again
They play the game
But they never seem to win

I guess i'll never learn
Some hearts got love to burn
I guess that's what it takes
Some hearts get all the breaks
