Little Jimmy Dickens - Can You Build Your House Lyrics

I know you can take her if you want her

For she's always been temptation's slave

But will you be happy when you won her

When you build your house on another man's grave

So if you have a good sight I'm appealing

In your hands you've got my life to take or say

And your victory maybe sweet for a moment

Can you you build your house on another man's grave

[ fiddle - steel ]

There's been so many others just like you

Who didn't want a girl just what she gave

So before you take her be sure your conscience

Will let you build your house on another man's grave

So if you have a good sight...
