These aren't the lyrics to the version by Roger Miller, FYI. Might want to fix that if you're trying to do a lyric video for a song performed by Roger Miller on the Roger Miller KZbin channel

What a timeless song! Kind of fits me. Rather get the sense that I don't really fit in any where...don't seem to fit in on either side.

Roger destroys me with this song, every time

The government has given me a number, to simplify my birth and life and death

Well, I've been a traveler most of my life Never took a home, never took a wife Ran away young and decided to roam Now I want to see my mama and my poppa back home Home, where the river runs cold The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold Home, where the trees grow tall The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call I remember stories that my daddy used to tell My eyes would get big, and his chest would swell I could sit for hours and listen with glee As he'd tell of how he lived when he's a boy like me Home, where the river runs cold The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold Home, where the trees grow tall The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call Well, mama dear, mama do you still love your boy After all my roamin' can I still bring you joy Mom sent a letter, got it not long ago She said, come home, I'm missin' you so Home, where the river runs cold The water tastes good, the winters ain't cold Home, where the trees grow tall The home fires burn, the whippoorwills call Whippoorwills call Whippoorwills call

"Austin powers" Yeah baby yeah!!!😊

Where all the people sit

Such a fine song!❤

❤Me too..I admit I never heard this song before. Unusual because I thought I knew a lot.about.Roger. Nevertheless I love the song and Ark..and.Roger.no.doubt

I have been a huge Roger Miller fan since 1964. I thought I knew everything Roger put out there, but I never heard this before! It's totally different than any of his other work. Thanks for the surprise. Gail L.

Janice Jopplin made this song famous. It was sung by many, but only Janice made it a hit.

Man, does this not make absolute sense given that people have lost their ever lovin' minds! Some of us ARE trying to be happy.

My favorite okie!

Great

Bravo!!! I've never heard that one before. What genius... and sense of humor. Thanks for sharing!! Ax

Wonderful . Timeless .

Dean Martin's version is the best by far I know Roger wrote it

Wonderfull

Millers got bars

Very nice and beautiful 👏 😍 🤩 Thank you 👏 Subscribed! New friend ❤️ ✨️

Great tune my friend.

So great at spinning a yarn then putting it to music

Excellent song! Tells a lot about how I have felt most of my life.

Roger was an amazing talent... He was quite a character too. He hosted for Johnny Carson many times

Thank you and Roger Miller for these few bitter sweet minutes,

They have gone woke or LGBTQ totally off the chart occult but they just paving the way for the rapture

Today are the loves of self boastful full of pride. Life was really quieter an better when we had Roger Jim Reeves an the rest

Roger could write the funny songs. But when I heard this one for the first time, I said to myself "Well, there's a guy with a talent for writing funny songs and then go to a serious one."

Always thought the lyrics to this ballad were haunting, Roger sings it beautifully!

Roger was so good at singing slow ballads -

Really great rendition, nice to hear Roger singing something not silly!

Jonathan Bree brought me here ❤

"...Now we've left Alaska, because, well, there was no goldmine. This time only two of us moved on. Now all we have is each other, and a little memory to cling to..." That part makes my heart hurt every time. Dang, there must be something in my eye.😢😭

“Take me as I am or let me go” (little jimmy dickens)

Great song

Best version of this song in my opinion

ALWAYS LATE

Word

Oh how I miss this guy.

The absolute versatility of this man was incredible. As a singer and songwriter. he was an incomparable genius.

This is the version I'm most familiar with but I lost the record years ago and couldn't find it on KZbin. Thanks for uploading.

One of the most relaxing songs of 1968

If you like this try Tom Greene County Fair !!

Who's singing the backup?

BS!!!!!!! Dr. Susan, Walt Disney are as real as they come😂❤❤❤❤❤😊

Roger was a poet. This is from a hip-hop head.

Well now, this song aged perfectly!

The performance he did on the Johnny Cash Show of this song is so much better for some reason, he'd probably practiced it more by then...

I Thought I had almost all of Roger Miller's music until I came across your channel.Thank You So Much For sharing the music of this country music genius !!
