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.
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. Explain Request ×
