Lyrics Shotgun House - Jamie Lenman
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
