The House That Jack Built歌词

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
