Shanty In Old Shanty Town Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis
Shanty In Old Shanty Town Songtext
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.
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.
