Shantytown Lyrics - Johnny Cash

(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 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
