Shanty Town Sheila

Sheila grew up in a shanty town Met a shanty man in woods round Lived in a shanty shack for quite a while But her shanty man never did truly smile So she moved on to a shanty boat Mississippi living easy as a float Sheila took a job in a shanty band Made money when they reached dry land Soon divorced the grouchy shanty man Developed an annoying groupie fan. Along with his annoying shanty mother Closer now to her dear sweet brother Who lives quietly in a shanty shack And always has his sister’s back. Proves you cannot take shanty power Out of a girl like Sheila McGlower
