I had the %#@! 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 banks 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

I was in the house when the house burned down

I met the man with the t^^&$#* 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 t^^&$#* crown

I helped Him carry his cross through town
I was in the house when the house burned down


I had the %#@! 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 banks till the river rose up
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down
