An Old Straw Hat Lyrics - Shirley Temple

I was born in a small town 

But I'm livin' in a big town 

They gave me a top hat and cane 

In trade for a shady lane 

Well, I'll give you back your big town 

If you'll give me back a small town 

Keep your top hats and canes, 

Give me those prairies and plains. 

If I had one wish to make 

this is the wish I would choose, 

I'd want An Old Straw Hat 

a suit of overalls 

and a worn out pair of shoes. 

Just let me roam around 

laughing at Big City Blues, 

With An Old Straw Hat 

a suit of overalls 

and a worn out pair of shoes. 

Howdy Mister Brown, 

ho hum 

goin' fishin', 

hope you get a bite. 

Howdy Mister Jones 

ho hum 

how's about a hay ride 

Saturday night? 

Sing "Heigh ho, 

the merrio" 

What have you got, 

What have you got to lose? 

Get An Old Straw Hat 

a suit of overalls 

and a worn out musty, 

rusty, dusty, 

pair of shoes.
