Ted Lewis - Have You Ever Been Lonely текст песни

In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town
Ted 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
