AP - The widow of country music singer Roger Miller has won a protracted legal battle over the copyrights to "King of the Road" and some of the artist's other well known songs.
U.S. District Judge William J. Haynes ruled that copyright ownership of Miller's 1964 songs goes to Mary Miller and Roger Miller Music Inc.
The songs include "Dang Me," "Chug-A-Lug" and "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd." Miller, who also acted in and wrote the lyrics and music for the Tony award-winning Broadway musical "Big River," died from cancer in 1992 at 56.
Mary Miller sued Sony/ATV Publishing in 2004 for the rights to the songs.
At the hearing on Thursday, the judge also awarded her and Roger Miller Music Inc. a little more than $900,000 for royalties she should have received.
