Back in the 19th century on southern US land
They built a simple kind of house, and many still do stand
The people called them 'shotgun house', from the African word to gun
Just three or four rooms back to back, and I'm a get me one, son
When I get my shotgun house, you can visit all the time
I will move from back porch to front room by walking a straight line
Oh, when I buy my shotgun house that will be something fine
I will 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, to places foul and fair
But I have loved America since I was married there, yeah
When I get my shotgun house, you can visit all the time
I will move from back porch to front room by walking a straight line
Oh now, just to own a shotgun house would be a splendid thing
I will sing the way my daddy used to sing
On the banks M I, double S I, double S I, P P I
