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

There was a room that was filled with love

It was a love that I was proud of

This was a life of a love that I planned

Of a love and same old love

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 my heart, it is turned to stone

This is the house, it ain't no home

This is the love that I destroyed

In a dream that I thought was love

In the house that jack built

I'm gonn' remember this house

Oh, 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

Up on the hill

There's a big plan still

In the house that Jack built

Before I remember this house

Listen, I got the house, I got the car

I got the rug, 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

Ohh, Jack

You ought to come on back

Ohh, Jack

You ought to come on back

To the one that you built

Is the same one you built

You ought to come on back, baby

Oh come back

I didn't understand till I lost my upright man

Come on back, Jack,

You ought to come on home now
