Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back by Billy Edd Wheeler
They passed an Gordinance in the town They said we'd have to tear it down That little old shack out back so dear to D7me Though the HGealth Department said It's day was over and Cdead It will sGtand forever in D7my memoGry
Chorus
Don't let 'em teGar, that little brown building down Don't let 'em tD7ear, that precious buildingG down Don't let 'em tear that dear old buildiCng dowAmn There's nGot another like Cit in the country D7or the toGwn
It was not so long agGo That I went tripping through the snow Out to that house behind my old hound D7dog Where I Gwould sit me down to rest Like a snCowbird on his nest And I'dG read that Sears and RD7oebuck catalGog
Oh I would hum a happy tuGne Peepin' through the quarter moon As my daddy's kin had done so much befD7ore It was in tGhat quiet spot, daily cares coCuld be forgot And it gGave the same relief to rD7ich and pGoor
Chorus
Don't let 'em Gtear, that little brown building down Don't let 'em teD7ar, that precious building Gdown Don't let 'em tear that dear old buiClding Amdown There's nGot another like Cit in the country D7or the toGwn
Now it was not a castle fGair But I could dream a future there Build my castles to the yellow jacket's dD7rone I could oGrbit around the sun, fight with Gen,rCal Washington Or be a kGing upon D7a golden throGne
It wasn't fancy built at Gall; We had newspapers on the wall It was air-conditioned in the winter D7time Oh it was jGust a humble hut but it's door was Cnever shut And a man Gcould get inside withD7out a dGime
Chorus
Don't let 'em teGar, that little brown building down Don't let 'em tD7ear, that precious buildinGg down Don't let 'em tear that dear old buCilding dAmown There's nGot another like Cit in the countrD7y or the tGown
