Medley: Home Town / In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town / Heart Of My Heart / Underneath The Arches

by Max Bygraves

Lyrics
Home town wanna wander round your back streets
See your tumble down old shack street
I'd love to walk in on those corny country cousins of mine
Home town where the doves are softly cooing
Where there's always nothing doing

I'd get a welcome from the corny country cousins of mine
And there's an old school house door we used to tumble through at four
And a small candy store where I could go
With a dozen lollipops and still want more
Home town where the garden trees are shady
Where our Edie was a lady
I'm going back to see those corny country cousins of mine

It's only a shanty in old shanty town
The roof is so slanty it touches the ground
But my tumble down shack by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion it's calling me back
I'd give up a palace if I were a king
It's more than a palace it's my everything
There's a queen waiting there with a silvery crown
In a shanty in old shanty town

Heart of my heart oh I love that melody
Heart of my heart brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street
We were rough and ready guys but oh how we could harmonize
Heart of my heart and friends were dearer then
Too bad we had to part
I know a tear would glisten if once more I could listen
To that gang that sang heart of my heart

Underneath the arches I dream my dreams away
Underneath the arches on cobblestones I lay
Every night you'll find me tired out and worn
Happy when the daylight comes creeping
Heralding the dawn
Sleeping when it's raining, sleeping when it's fine
I hear the trains rattling by above
Pavement is my pillow no matter where I stray
Underneath the arches I dream my dreams away
Underneath the arches I dream my dreams away
