Ted Lewis - In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town lyrics

rate me

I'm up in the world, <br />

But I'd give the world to be where I used to be, <br />

A heavenly nest, <br />

Where I rest the best, <br />

Means more than the world to me.<br />

<br />

It's only a shanty<br />

In old Shanty Town<br />

The roof is so slanty it touches the ground.<br />

But my tumbled down shack by an old railroad track, <br />

Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.<br />

<br />

I'd give up a palace if I were a king.<br />

It's more than a palace, it's my everything.<br />

There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown<br />

In a shanty in old Shanty Town.
