The House That Jack Built

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

This was the room that was filled with love

It was a love that he was proud of

This was a life of a love he planned

Of a 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 it was)

There was the gate that he walked out of

This is the heart that is turned to stone (Yes it is)

This was the house, but it ain't no home

This is the love that I once had

In a dream that I thought was love

In The House That Jack Built (The House That Jack Built)

I'm gonn' remember this house

Oh 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

Up on the hill

There's a big plan still

In The House That Jack Built

(The House That Jack Built)

I'm gonn' 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)

(I ain't got Jack, 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

Ohh, Jack

Oh! Come on back

Oh, Jack

Oh come on back

Until he wanted to choose me

I miss the same ones you do

Oh, come on back

Oh, now Jack

I didn't understand

Until I lost my my upright man

Come on back, Jack

You oughta come on home
