Shotgun House |
| Back in the 19th\nCentury on southern US land\nThey built a simple kind of house\nAnd many still do stand\nThe people called them 'shotgun house,'\nFrom the African word «to-gun.»\nJust three or four rooms back-to-back\nAnd I’m-a get me one, son\nWhen I get my shotgun house\nYou can visit all the time\nI will move from back porch to front room\nBy walking a straight line\nOh, when I buy my shotgun house\nThat will be something fine\nI will finally have a place\nI can call mine\nNow, yes, I am an English man;\nFrom Oxford, if you please\nBut when it comes to settling down\nI may look overseas\nFor I have travelled far and wide\nTo places foul and fair\nBut I have loved America\nSince I was married there, yeah\nWhen I get my shotgun house\nYou can visit all the time\nI will move from back porch to front room\nBy walking a straight line\nOh now, just to own a shotgun house\nWould be a splendid thing\nI will sing the way my daddy used to sing…\n…on the banks M-I, double-S, I, double S, I, P-P-I |
