In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town

IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWNTed Lewis(Joe Young/Little Jack Little & John Siras)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.
