in a shanty in old shanty town

well

it's only a shanty down in old shanty town

but the roof is all slanty low but it touches the ground

it's just a tumbled down shack by that old

old railroad track

but like a millionaire's mansion it keeps a-calling me back

well

i'd give up a palace lord

if i were a king

but it's more than a palace

it is my everything

there's a queen waiting there she's got rolls in her hair

it's my shanty down in old shanty town
