While I'm at it, I might as well ask about the artist of another old country song...?

Question

Another 45 my dad used to play I believe the song was called "The Little Old Shack Out Back"
I don't know all the lyrics but it went something like this

They passed an ordinance in the town
said we had 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

Oh please don't tear that little brown building down
no please don't tear that precious building down
please don't tear that little brown building down
for there's not another like it, in the country or the down

It wasn't fancy built at all, we had newspapers on the wall
it was air-conditioned in the winter time

I can't remember the rest, there was something about
"Or be a king upon a "golden throne" Does anyone know the complete lyrics, and artist? Anyone remember listening to this one themselves?

I probably should mention that the little old shack the song was referring to was the outhouse...
