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
