A songwriter, singer, guitarist, fiddler, drummer, TV star, humorist, honky-tonk man, and Broadway composer - Roger Miller was all of these and more. Known for his chart-topping hits "King of the Road," "Dang Me," and “Chug-A-Lug”, all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era, Miller continued to record and tour internationally into the 1990s, charting his final top 20 country hit "Old Friends" with Price and Willie Nelson in 1982. With a diverse career spanning beyond music, he was the first artist to have his own prime time variety show, “The Roger Miller Show which aired on NBC from 1966-1967. Miller also wrote and performed several of the songs from the 1973 Disney animated film Robin Hood. Miller died on Oct. 25, 1992. In 1995, he was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
In early 2020, Morris Higham Management signed the estate for exclusive management representation and will oversee all future endeavors for the late Country Music Hall of Famer.

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 Want to see my mama and my daddy 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
Roger did NOT write this song.
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 KZread. 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.
I hate to tell you it was Bobby Russel who wrote this song. He was also married to Vicki Lawrence who Sang his song “he threw away” THATS THE NIGHT LIGHTS WENT OUT IN GEORGIA 💜💜💜
@Heather Holidays even still roger is one of the greatest writers ever.
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 !!
