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 the 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 loved 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 the heart it has turned to stone This was the house, it ain't no home This is the love that I destroyed On the day that I toyed with love, This is the house that Jack built, I'm gonn' remember this house! Oh-ohh wha-a-at's the use of crying? You know I brought it on myself There's no denying But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny That I didn't understand SongtexteUntil I lost my upright man Up on the hill Everything stands still In the house that Jack built I'm gonna remember this house Listen! I got the house I got the car I got the rug And 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 Ohhh, Jack You oughta come on back Ohh Jack You oughta come on back To the that you built It's the same one that you built I didn't understand Until I lost a upright man Come on back Jack Aus Songtexte Mania
