Discover the story of the song > An Old Straw Hat – Shirley Temple

The protagonist was born in a small town but now lives in a big city with fancy clothes. She wants to go back to her small town and wear simple clothes like an old straw hat, overalls, and worn-out shoes. She imagines herself fishing and going on hayrides with her neighbors and enjoying a simple life without the stress of the big city. The song encourages people to appreciate the simple things in life and not get caught up in the glamour of the city.
