| 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 was a life of a love that he planned
|
| On the 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, 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
|
| Was it a house of an upright man, y’all?
|
| 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
|
| (I ain’t got Jack, Jack, Jack)
|
| And I want my Jack back!
|
| (I ain’t got Jack, Jack, Jack)
|
| 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
|
| You oughta come on back
|
| (Come on, come on, come on)
|
| Oh, Jack
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| You oughta come on back
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| To the one that you built
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| It’s the same one that you built
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| You oughta come on back, Jack
|
| (Come on, come on, come on)
|
| Oh, come back
|
| I didn’t understand
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| Until I lost my upright man
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| Come on back, Jack
|
| (Come on back, Jack)
|
| You oughta come on home now
|
| (Come on back, Jack) |
