Artist/Band: Mel Tillis
Lyrics for Song: Can You Build Your House
Lyrics for Album: Something Special [Kapp] [1968]



(Mel Tillis)



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



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've won her

When you build your house on another man's grave.



So if you have a good sight, I'm appealing

My life is in your hands to take or say

And your victory for the moment may be sweet

But must you build your house on another man's grave.



--- Instrumental ---



There's been so many others just like you

Who didn't want a girl just what she gave

So before you take her please be sure your conscience

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



So if you have a good sight, I'm appealing

My life is in your hands to take or say

And your victory for the moment may be sweet

But must you build your house on another man's grave...
