Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: Shantytown
Lyrics for Album: The Man In Black: 1963-1969 [1995]



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



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?



Behind the walls of your shackled heart beats pure

While the rich have a love to endure

Well, is the gold in your crown turning black?

Is there something here in Shantytown that keeps you coming back?



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?
