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 the old railroad track,
Like a millionaire's mansion, is calling me back.
I'd give up my 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.
