Lyrics
This is the house that Jack built, y'all Remember this house

This was the land that he worked by hand This is the dream of an upright man There was a room that was filled with love It was a love that I was proud of

There was a life that I had planned With my love, my same old love In the house that Jack built Remember this house

There was a fence that held our love There was a gate that walked out of There was a heart that was turned to stone This is the house that just ain't no home

There was a love that I destroyed With my love, my same old love In the house that Jack built Remember this house

Oh, what is the use of crying? Because I brought it on myself There ain't no relying And it seems awful funny That I didn't understand Until I lost my upright man

Up on the hill Everything stands still In the house that Jack built Remember this house

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

Well, come on back Come on back To the same one you built Yeah, it's the same one you built Better come on back, Jack Oh, come back, Jack

Baby, you can't understand Until you lose your upright man You better come on back, Jack Better come on back, Jack Oh, come back Jack
