SHANTYTOWN
As recorded by Johnny Cash and June Carter on "Carryin' On with Johnny Cash and June Carter
CHORUS: I live down in Shantytown
Where chicken's twenty cents a pound,
And if you live on such solid ground,
Whatcha doin' down in Shantytown?
Whatcha doin' down in Shantytown?
Well, I'm back on your side of the tracks.
Have you come back for me to take you back?
Back to your high society to your cocktails and your teas
I'll look up but don't look down, 'cause we got pride in Shantytown. CHORUS
Behind the walls of your shackled heart beats pure
While the rich have a love to endure.
Well, is the gold in your crown turnin' black?
Is there something here in Shantytown that keeps you comin' back? CHORUS
