It's only a shanty in old Shanty Town,
The roof is so slanty it touches the ground:
But my tumble down shack by the 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 ev'rything.
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty in old Shanty Town.
