In a shanty in old shanty townted lewis(joe young/little jack little & john siras)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.
