Lyrics:
This is the house that Jack built
Do you Remember that house
I know you do now

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

This is a life of a love that I planned
Of a love and same old love
Of the house that Jack built
Do you Remember that house

This is the fence that held our love
This is the gate that he walked out of
This is my heart, that turned to stone
This is the house, but not a home

This is the love that I destroyed
On the day that I toyed with love
In the house that jack built
Do you Remember that house

Oh, ohh, 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
Until I lost my upright man

Up on a hill
Everything stands still

Well, I got the house and I got the car
I got the rug and I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
No. no. no, that I ain't got Jack

Turned on Jack
And he aint coming back
I turned on Jack
And he aint coming back

No. no. no
he aint coming back no more
