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 on 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 gon' remember this house

Oh-oh wha-at'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

Was it a house of an upright man? Yeah

Up on the hill, there's a big plan still

In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built)

I'm gon' 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, 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

Oh, Jack, oh, come on back

Oh, Jack, oh, come on back (why don't you come on back Jack?)

You oughtta' come on back (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)

You oughtta' come on back (come on back, Jack)

Oh, now then...

I didn't understand

Until that upright man, come on back Jack (come on back, Jack)

You oughtta' come on home
