In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town

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
