I Was In The House When THe House Burned Down

I had the shit till it all got smoked
I kept the promise till the vow got broke
I had to drink from the lovin’ cup.
I stood on the bank till 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 till it all got spent.
I had the money till 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.

(Chorus)
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.

(Repeat Chorus)

I had the shit till it all got smoked
I kept the promise till the vow got broke
I had to drink from the lovin’ cup.
I stood on the bank till the river rose up.
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down.
