Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of the lonely house that once was
Home sweet home
[Verse 2]
I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you
To the bone
[Verse 3]
Over there sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me
Sit down on my knee and whisper
"Oh, I love you"
[Verse 4]
But now she's gone forever
And this old house, it will never
Be the same without the love
That we once knew
[Verse 5]
Straight ahead, that's the bed
Where we'd lie in love together
And Lord knows we had
A good thing going here
[Verse 6]
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say
"Good mornin', dear"?
[Verse 7]
There's her rings, all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Where she left them when
She tore my world apart
[Verse 8]
As you leave, you'll see the nursery
Oh, she left me without mercy
Takin' nothin' but our baby
And my heart
[Outro]
Step right up, come on in
Come on in
