Shotgun House - Live In London

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] So this was one of, maybe the surprise hit off the record, I didn't realise that people were gonna like this one this much So I played it every set, and if you're sick of it, that's your own fault, this is called Shotgun House (1, 2, 3, 4) [Verse 1] Back in the 19th century on southern US land They built a simple type of house And many still do stand The people called them 'shotgun house,' From the African word Just three or four rooms back-to-back And I'ma get me one, son [Chorus] When I get that shotgun house You can visit all the time I will move from back porch to front door By walking a straight line Oh yes, when I get that shotgun house That will be something fine, I see you I will finally have a place I can call mine [Verse 2] Oh, 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 And I have loved America Since I was married there, yeah [Chorus] When I get that shotgun house You can visit all the time I will move from back porch to front door By walking a straight line Oh yes, when I get that shotgun house It will be something fine I will finally have a place I can call mine Ok take it away, let's go [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Oh yes Ok, come on everyone, lets sing When I get that shotgun house I will be happy there Oh the summer breeze will blow right through Like its the central air Oh yes, just to own a shotgun house Will be a splendid thing I will sing the way my daddy used to sing [Outro] On the banks M, I, double S, I, double S, I, (P P I) Great stuff That was really cooking, that was really great, right? Come on, come on We're gonna have Chris back, let's hear it for Chris He's gonna play the ca-, this is the bit of the evening that Chris has been waiting all night for You watch him He's a genius
