In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town (Remastered)

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.
