18 Nov 01 - 11:26 PM (#595421) Subject: RE: shanty cabin From: GUEST,Joe_F There's a shanty in the town On a little plot of ground Where the green grass grows all around, all around. The roof's so worn, So badly torn, That it tumbles to the ground. It's a little old shack That's set right back Twenty-five feet from the railroad track, Linger in my mind Most all of the time, Keeps calling me back To my little old shack. Feeling just as sassy As Haile Selassie -- If I was a king, 'Twouldn't mean a thing -- Put my boots on tall, Read the writing on the wall, And it wouldn't mean a thing, not a goddamn thing. There's a queen waiting there In a rocking chair, Blowing her top on some gator beer. Looking all around And a-trucking on down, How I want to get back to my shantytown! Where does that come from, anyway? I've sung it for 50 years, and I've never known. |

The words are a take-off of the original song, and were sung by what sounded like the members of the band, very up-tempo.... circa late 40's, I think. |
