jamie lenman – shotgun house lyrics
back in the 19th
century on southern us land
they built a simple kind of house
and many still do stand
the people called them ‘shotgun house,’
from the african word “to-gun.”
just three or four rooms back-to-back
and i’m-a get me one, son
when i get my shotgun house
you can visit all the time
i will move from back porch to front room
by walking a straight line
oh, when i buy my shotgun house
that will be something fine
i will finally have a place
i can call mine
now, yes, i am an english man;
from oxford, if you please
but when it comes to settling down
i may look overseas
for i have travelled far and wide
to places foul and fair
but i have loved america
since i was married there, yeah
when i get my shotgun house
you can visit all the time
i will move from back porch to front room
by walking a straight line
oh now, just to own a shotgun house
would be a splendid thing
i will sing the way my daddy used to sing…
…on the banks m-i, double-s, i, double s, i, p-p-i
