Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
Well I was born in the boomer's shack
About that far from railroad track
Choo-choo ratled my window pane
Sheet iron roof tells me evertime it rains
Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
Well I went to a one room school
Walked to and from this school
I carried my lunch in a paper sack
It was one mile over two miles back
Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
I say my brother worked hard in the grain
Papa drove a choo-choo train
And one sister was a righteous girl
But the other was a woman of the world
Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
Yea yea yea yea
Well yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
It happened just that way
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea
