The House That Jack Built (Mono)

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…
