IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTYTOWN

Ted Black



It's only a shanty in old shantytown.

The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.

It's a tumble down shack by an old railroad track

Like a millionaire's mansion, it's 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 shantytown.
