House That Jack Built Lyrics - The B-3 And Me - Davell Crawford

This is the house that Jack built, y'all 

Remember this house! 

This was the land that he worked by hand 

The was the dream of an upright man 

This was the room that was filled with love 

This was a love that I was proud of 

This was a life of a love I planned 

Of a love and a life we 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 that is turned to stone 

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, 

This is the house that Jack built, 

I'm gonn' remember this house! 

Oh 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 

Up on the hill 

There's a big stand still 

In the house that Jack built 

Gonn' 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 

Oh, Jack 

You oughta come on back 

Oh Jack 

You oughtha come on back 

To the one where you live 

Back to the thing that you built 

You oughtha come on back 

I didn't understand until 

I lost an upright man
