IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN

|
I'm up in the world,
|
but I'd give the world to be where I used to be,
|
A heavenly nest,
|
where I rest the best,
|
means more than the world to me.
|
|
It's only a shanty
|
in old Shanty Town
|
the roof is so slanty it touches the ground.
|
But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track,
|
like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.
|
|
I'd give up a palace if I were a king.
|
It's more than a palace, it's my everything.
|
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
|
in a shanty in old Shanty Town.
