This is the house that Jack built, y'all |
|
Remember this house! |
|
This was the land that he worked by hand |
|
It was the dream of an upright man |
|
There was the room that was filled with love |
|
It was a love that I was proud of |
|
This is the life, the life that he planned |
|
On the love, the same old loved |
|
Of the house that Jack built. |
|
Remember this house! |
|
There was the fence that held our love, |
|
There was the gate that he walked out of |
|
This is the heart it has turned to stone |
|
This was the house, it ain't no home |
|
This is the love that I destroyed |
|
On the day that I toyed with love, |
|
This is the house that Jack built, |
|
I'm gonn' remember this house! |
|
Oh-ohh wha-a-at's the use of crying? |
|
You know I brought it on myself |
|
There's no denying |
|
But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny |
|
That I didn't understand |
|
Until I lost my upright man |
|
Up on the hill |
|
Everything stands still |
|
In the house that Jack built |
|
I'm gonna remember this house |
|
Listen! |
|
I got the house |
|
I got the car |
|
I got the rug |
|
And I got the rack |
|
But I ain't got Jack |
|
And I want my Jack back! |
|
I turned my back on Jack |
|
He said he wasn't coming back |
|
I turned my back on Jack |
|
He said he wasn't coming back |
|
Ohhh, Jack |
|
You oughta come on back |
|
Ohh Jack |
|
You oughta come on back |
|
To the that you built |
|
It's the same one that you built |
|
I didn't understand |
|
Until I lost a upright man |
|
Come on back Jack |
