Tin Man Lyr Req: The other King Of The road (7) Lyr Req: The other King Of The road 18 Jul 07

Hi all,

Just joined you at the Mudcat Cafe and wondered if anyone could help with a song from my childhood.

I had a wonderful teacher during the late sixties (originally from Singapore) who taught us lots of old British folk songs, which we'd sing while he played the piano.

I can remember some lyrics and the tune from one paricular song, but can't find it anywhere. It goes;
    I walk along the roads and highways,
    Singing as I swing along,
    Through all the country lanes and byways,
    What is life without a happy song?

    Chorus:
    Up with the dawn, welcome to the morn,
    Day by day goes by,
    Monarch for the day of all that I survey,
    I'm king of the road am I.

Can anyone help?
