roger welsch - little old sod shanty كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i’m looking rather seedy now while holding down my
claim
my victuals are not always of the best;
the mice play shyly round me as i nestle down to rest
in that little old sod shanty on my claim

[verse 2]
yet i rather like the novelty of living in this way
though my bill of fare is always rather tame
i’m happy as a clam on the land of uncle sam
in that little old sod shanty on my claim

[verse 3]
but when i left my eastern homе, a bachelor so g_y
to try to win my way to wealth and fame
i littlе thought that i’d come down to burning twisted hay
in that little old sod shanty on my claim
[chorus]
oh the hinges are of leather and the windows have no
glass
the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
i hear the hungry coyote as he slinks up through the
grass
round that little old sod shanty on my claim

[verse 4]
my clothes are plastered o’er with dough, i’m looking
like a fright
and everything is scattered round the room
but i wouldn’t give the freedom that i have out in the
west
for the table of the eastern man’s old home

[verse 5]
a bumper crop of corn we raised in eighteen ninety_two;
to dress my wife in silk i thought was plain;
but i sold my corn for thirteen cents, three cents
beside a share
so the wife stayed on the shanty on the claim

[chorus]
oh the hinges are of leather and the windows have no
glass
the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
i hear the hungry coyote as he slinks up through the
grass
round that little old sod shanty on my claim
[verse 6]
our hogs they died of cholera; the chickens had the pip;
the baby swallowed b_ttons like a chain;
my wife was married thirteen years before she saw a
dime
when we lived in the little sod shanty on our claim

[verse 7]
yet for all the hardships we went through, we never
gave up hope
but plugged the harder till we made it gain
for love was close beside us in all our ups and downs
in that little old sod shanty on our claim
