House of Stone

That woman

Lives in a house of stone

You better not cuss

You better not roam

She’ll put you out

On your ass all alone

That woman

Lives in a house of stone

Fair lady

Give a drunkard a chance

Got a brand new suit

I got two pair of pants

Easy on the eyes

And I love to dance

I could dance right now

If you give me the chance

I’m waiting for a man

But he hasn’t shown

I’m on the corner freezing

Through my bones

Give me one more week

I’ll make good that loan

To that woman

Up in that house of stone

The deacons in her church

Say to leave me alone

They say my brain

Is in the twilight zone

And maybe I sin

But I ain’t high tone

I’m after that girl

In that house of stone

I’m after that girl

In that house of stone
