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
