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
