Way….
Oh way down!
By the river…
(By the river)
Oh by the river.
I built a house
(I built a house)
For my family
(Ohhh my family)
I gave my sweat
I shed blood
I worked through
The worst of storms
Ohhhhh I worked
Day and night
Oooohhhhhhhh
When it was done
The whole toooown
Through a ball
They said man…
I think it’s time you
Get you a woman!
To call your own!
You know a house like
This , you shouldn’t
Be in it alone!
But…….
Years
Go
By!
Oh the went by
And I’m
Sitting
All
Alone!
Well, being alone
Ain’t so bad
(Ain’t so bad)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
I built this house
To be filled with
Love and sweet joy
Now
I’m gray and old
This house must be
Sold
A woman
Knocked on
My door, her beauty knocked
Me off my feet
She had three
Kids
And she said to me
I’ve been looking for a house
Like this
A house that can be filled with love
Good sir
Will you sale it to me
Ohhhhh this house was meant for me
Mhmhhmmm
