Mickey Gilley - In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town lyrics

rate me

(Lord, 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.

(Just an 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 calling me back.

Well, I'd give up a palace Lord, if I were a king

But it's more than a palace, it's my everything

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

It's my shanty down in old shanty town.

It's my shanty down in old shanty town...
