Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back       by Billy Edd Wheeler

They passed an ordinance in the town

They said we'd have to tear it down 
That little old shack out back so dear to me
Though the Health Department said 
It's day was over and dead
It will stand forever in my memory

Don't let 'em tear, that little brown building down
Don't let 'em tear, that precious building down
Don't let 'em tear that dear old building down 
There's not another like it in the country or the town

It was not so long ago 

That I went tripping through the snow
Out to that house behind my old hound dog
Where I would sit me down to rest 
Like a snowbird on his nest
And I'd read that Sears and Roebuck catalog 

Oh I would hum a happy tune 

Peepin' through the quarter moon
As my daddy's kin had done so much before 
It was in that quiet spot, daily cares could be forgot
And it gave the same relief to rich and poor

Don't let 'em tear, that little brown building down
Don't let 'em tear, that precious building down
Don't let 'em tear that dear old building down 
There's not another like it in the country or the town

Now it was not a castle fair 

But I could dream a future there
Build my castles to the yellow jacket's drone
I could orbit around the sun, fight with Gen,ral Washington
Or be a king upon a golden throne 

It  wasn't fancy built at all; 

We had newspapers on the wall
It was air-conditioned in the winter time
Oh it was just a humble hut but it's door was never shut
And  a man could get inside without a dime 

Don't let 'em tear, that little brown building down
Don't let 'em tear, that precious building down
Don't let 'em tear that dear old building down 
There's not another like it in the country or the town
