The House That Jack Built
This is the house that Jack built y'allRemember this house
This was the land that he worked by handThis is the dream of an upright manThere was a room that was filled with loveIt was a love that I was proud ofThere was a life that I had plannedWith my love, my same old loveIn the house that Jack builtRemember this house
There was a fence that held our loveThere was a gate that walked out ofThere was a heart that was turned to stoneThis is the house that just ain't no homeThere was a love that I destroyedWith my love, my same old loveIn the house that Jack builtRemember this house
Oh, what is the use of crying?Because I brought it on myselfThere ain't no relyingAnd it seems awful funnyThat I didn't understandUntil I lost my upright man
Up on the hill everything stands stillIn the house that Jack builtRemember this house
I got the houseI got the carI got the rugAnd I got the rackBut I ain't got JackAnd I want my Jack back
I turned my back on JackHe said he wasn't coming backI turned my back on JackHe said he wasn't coming backWell come on back, come on backTo the same one you builtYeah, it's the same one you builtBetter come on back JackOh, come back JackBaby, you can't understandUntil you lose your upright manYou better come on back JackBetter come on back JackOh, come back Jack
