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 a 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 love |
|
In the house that Jack built |
|
(The house that Jack built) |
|
Remember this house |
|
There was the fence that held our love |
|
(Yes there was) |
|
There was the gate that he walked out of |
|
This is my heart it has turned to stone |
|
(Yes it is) |
|
This is the house, it ain't no home |
|
This is the love that I destroyed |
|
On the day that I toyed with love |
|
In the house that Jack built |
|
(The house that Jack built) |
|
I'm gonna remember this house |
|
Ohh, what's the use of crying? |
|
You know I brought it on myself there's no denying |
|
But it seems awful funny that I didn't understand |
|
Until I lost my upright man |
|
Over the hill everything stands still |
|
In the house that Jack built |
|
(House that Jack built) |
|
I'm gonna remember this house |
|
(The house that Jack built) |
|
Listen, I got the house, I got the car |
|
I got the rug and I got the rack |
|
But I ain't got Jack |
|
(Jack, Jack, I ain't got Jack) |
|
And I want my Jack back |
|
(Jack, Jack) |
|
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 |
|
Ohh Jack, you ought to come on back |
|
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) |
|
Ohh Jack, you ought to come on back |
|
(Why don't you come on back Jack, come on back Jack) |
|
To the one that you built |
|
(Come on back Jack) |
|
It's the same one you built |
|
(Come on back Jack) |
|
Ohh, come on back Jack |
|
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) |
|
Ohh, come back |
|
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) |
|
Ohh, I didn't understand until I lost my upright man |
|
Come on back Jack |
|
(Come on back Jack) |
|
You oughta come on home now |
