House Of Stone

(album: Let's Live For Today - 1967)

You can build your house out of bricks
You can build your house out of stone
But as likely as you put it on the dirt, my friend
It's likely it'll fall on down

Well, you can build it high as a mountain
Well, you can build it thick as a wall
But as surely as you put it on the dirt, my friend
It's gonna fall, fall-fall-fall

Some men work on a railroad
And some men they work in a store
And some figured out a long time ago
They just will not work at all

This gloating leads me to glory
Despising leads me to home
Don't ask my woman where I'm going
I don't believe she knows I'm gone
