An Old Three Room Shack Songtext
von Roy Acuff

Well just across the street from our little three room shack
There′s a mansion that reaches the sky
With at least a dozen rooms and a great big swimming pool
Two sport cars and three long Cadillac's

And the only thing I own is a broken down old Ford
Half the time it won′t even start
But you're won't hear us fighting at four in the morning
Calling names to break each other′s hearts


So they can have it we don′t need it
Let them keep it and call it their own
Living that kind of life is not for you and me
We got love and love is all we need

I've never tired of wearing that same old shaggy dress
One I bought down at the dollar store
Well if I watch every dime I spend and I save every stamp I can
Just get the things I know we can afford

And every afternoon I sit upon the porch
Watch them as they pass through those gates
I may wonder what it′s like to be a fancy lady
But I always have a smile on my face


So they can have it we don't need it
Let them keep it and call it their own
Living that kind of life is not for you and me
We got love and love is all we need
