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.
