Back in the 19th century On southern US land They built a simple kind of house And many still do stand The people call them shotgun house' From African to-gun Just three or four rooms back-to-back And I'ma get me one Oh, when I get my shotgun house You can visit all the time I'll go from back room to front porch By walking a straight line Yes, when I buy my shotgun house That will be something fine I'll 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 Seen countries foul and fair But I have loved America Since I was married there Oh, when I get my shotgun house You can visit all the time I'll go from back room to front porch By walking a straight line Yes, when I buy my shotgun house That will be something fine I'll finally have a place I can call mine Oh, when I get my shotgun house You can visit all the time I'll go from back room to front porch By walking a straight line Oh just to own a shotgun house Would be a splendid thing I'd sing the way my daddy used to sing On the banks of the M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
