BIG HOUSE ON THE CORNER
(Stonewall Jackson)


Stonewall Jackson - 1962



You can see the ad in the morning paper
This house for sale, the owner's leaving town
He won't need it any longer, you'll like the price you'll give
For the big house on the corner where love used to live

She was all I had, all I ever wanted
But now she's gone, so I can't stay in town
I'm the lonely man that's selling for most any price you'll give
For the big house on the corner where love used to live

This happy couple used to live there
Until the winds of sorrow left it alone and bare
I'm the lonely man that's selling for most any price you'll give
For the big house on the corner where love used to live
For the big house on the corner where love used to live
