Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back
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

Little brown building down

For 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'd sit me down to rest

Like a snowbird on his nest

And read the Sears and Roebuck catalog

I would hum a happy tune

Peeping through the quarter moon

As my daddy's kin had done before

It was in that quiet spot

Daily cares could be forgot

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

Little brown building down

For there's not another like it

In the country or the town

Now it was not a castle fair

But I could dream my future there

And build my castles to

The yellow jacket's drone

I could orbit around the sun

Fight with General Washington

Or be a King upon a golden throne

It wasn't fancy built at all

It had newspapers on the wall

It was air conditioned

In the wintertime

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

Little brown building down

For there's not another like it

In the country or the town
