Artist/Band: Miller Roger
Lyrics for Song: Dang Me
Lyrics for Album: All Time Greatest Hits
Well here I sit, gettin' ideas
Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
Out all night and runnin' wild
Woman sittin' home with a month old child

CHORUS:
Dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me.

Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys
Six rounds bought, and I bought five
Spent the groceries and half the rent
Like fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents.

(CHORUS)

They say roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple
Well I'm the seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol
I'm a son of a gun.

(CHORUS)

I guess it's age and the wisdom alleged to come with it, but Roger's lyrics seem a lot funnier, and more poignant, than I recall them seeming as a child/teenager.

As I think back I remember hearing him on the radio all the time. Mom (RIP) and Dad listened to country music all the time, so we cut our teeth on some of this music. I loved his TV show but the one I really remember is the "Jimmy Dean Show"
