Karaoke Track: Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back by Bobby Bare (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

((an
THEY PASSED AN ORDINANCE
IN THE TOWN
THEY SAID WE'D HAVE TO

TEAR IT DOWN

THAT LITTLE OLD SHACK
OUT BACK SO DEAR TO ME
THOUGH
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
SAID IT'S DAY

WAS OVER AND DEAD
IT WILL STAND FOREVER
IN MY MEMORY
DON'T LET 'EM TEAR THAT
LITTLE BROWN BUILDING

DOWN
DON'T LET 'EM TEAR THAT
PRECIOUS BUILDING
DOWN
DON'T LET 'EM TEAR THAT

DEAR OLD BUILDING
DOWN
THERE'S NOT ANOTHER
LIKE IT IN THE COUNTRY
OR THE TOWN

IT WAS NOT SO LONG AGO
THAT I WENT TRIPPING
THROUGH THE SNOW
OUT TO THAT HOUSE BEHIND
MY OLD HOUND DOG

WHERE I WOULD
SIT ME DOWN TO REST
LIKE A SNOWBIRD
ON HIS NEST
AND I'D READ THAT SEARS

AND ROEBUCK CATALOG
OH I WOULD HUM
A HAPPY TUNE
PEEPING THROUGH THE
QUARTER MOON

AS MY DADDY'S KIN HAD
DONE SO MUCH BEFORE
IT WAS IN THAT QUIET SPOT
DAILY CARES
COULD BE FORGOT

AND IT GAVE THE
SAME RELIEF
TO THE RICH AND POOR
DON'T LET 'EM TEAR THAT
LITTLE BROWN BUILDING

DEAR OLD BUILDING
DOWN
THERE'S NOT ANOTHER
LIKE IT IN THE COUNTRY
OR THE TOWN

NOW IT WAS NOT
A CASTLE FAIR
BUT I COULD DREAM

A FUTURE THERE
OR THE TOWN

NOW IT WAS NOT
A CASTLE FAIR
BUT I COULD DREAM
A FUTURE THERE
BUILD MY CASTLES TO THE

YELLOW JACKET'S DRONE
I COULD ORBIT AROUND
THE SUN FIGHT WITH
GENERAL WASHINGTON
0R BE A KING UPON A

GOLDEN THRONE
IT WASN'T FANCY BUILT
AT ALL
WE HAD NEWSPAPERS
ON THE WALL

IT WAS AIR-CONDITIONED
IN THE WINTER TIME
0H IT WAS JUST
A HUMBLE HUT
BUT IT'S DOOR WAS

NEVER SHUT
AND A MAN COULD
GET INSIDE WITHOUT A DIME
DON'T LET 'EM TEAR THAT
LITTLE BROWN BUILDING

DEAR OLD BUILDING
DOWN
THERE'S NOT ANOTHER
LIKE IT IN THE COUNTRY
OR THE TOWN
