But I'm livin' in a big town
They gave me a top hat and cane
In trade for a shady lane
Well, I'll give you back your big town
If you'll give me back a small town
Keep your top hats and canes,
Give me those prairies and plains.
If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose,
I'd want An Old Straw Hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes.
Just let me roam around
Laughing at Big City Blues,
With An Old Straw Hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes.
Howdy Mister Brown,
Ho hum
Goin' fishin',
Hope you get a bite.
Howdy Mister Jones
Ho hum
How's about a hay ride
Saturday night?
Sing "Heigh ho,
The merrio"
What have you got,
What have you got to lose?
Get An Old Straw Hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out musty,
Rusty, dusty,
Pair of shoes.
I was born in a small town But I'm livin' in a big town They gave me a top hat and cane In trade for a shady lane Well, I'll give you back your big town If you'll give me back a small town Keep your top hats and canes, Give me those prairies and plains. If I had one wish to make This is the wish I would choose, I'd want An Old Straw Hat A suit of overalls And a worn out pair of shoes. Just let me roam around Laughing at Big City Blues, With An Old Straw Hat A suit of overalls And a worn out pair of shoes. Howdy Mister Brown, Ho hum Goin' fishin', Hope you get a bite. Howdy Mister Jones Ho hum How's about a hay ride Saturday night? Sing "Heigh ho, The merrio" What have you got, What have you got to lose? Get An Old Straw Hat A suit of overalls And a worn out musty, Rusty, dusty, Pair of shoes. Explain Request ×
