Richard Edward "Eddy" Arnold (May 15, 1918 – May 8, 2008) was an American country music singer who performed for six decades. He was a so-called Nashville sound (country/popular music) innovator of the late 1950s, and scored 147 songs on the Billboard country music charts, second only to George Jones. He sold more than 85 million records. A member of the Grand Ole Opry (beginning 1943) and the Country Music Hall of Fame (beginning 1966), Arnold ranked 22nd on Country Music Television's 2003 list of "The 40 Greatest Men of Country Music."

Will Santy come to Shanty town
To a poor little boy like me?
Will he bring me some toys
Like the other girls and boys?
Will Santy come to Shanty town
If he sees our Christmas tree?
Mommy said he would
If I promised to be good
For we don't have a fireplace
Or a chimney on our shack
Like the other lucky children have
Who lived across the track
Now if I say my prayers each day
When Christmas rolls around
Will Santy come to Shanty town

He didn't stop last Christmas Eve
Doesn't he know we live here
Will my mommy have to paint my toys
The way she did last year
Now if I say my prayers each day
When Christmas rolls around
Will Santy come to Shanty town
