I Was in the House When the House Burned Down

I had the shit 'til it all got smoked

I kept the promise 'til the vow got broke

I had to drink from the lovin' cup

I stood on the banks 'til the river rose up

I saw the bride in her wedding gown

I was in the house when the house burned down

I may be old and I may be bent

But I had the money 'til it all got spent

I had the money 'til they made me pay

Then I had the sense to be on my way

I had to stay in the underground

I was in the house when the house burned down

I was in the house when the house burned down

I met the man with the thorny crown

I helped Him carry his cross through town

I was in the house when the house burned down

I was in the house when the house burned down

I met the man with the thorny crown

I helped Him carry his cross through town

I was in the house when the house burned down

I had the shit 'til it all got smoked

I kept the promise 'til the vow got broke

I had to drink from the lovin' cup

I stood on the banks 'til the river rose up

I saw the bride in her wedding gown

I was in the house when the house burned down
