Can You Build Your House Lyrics

(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.Mel Tillis - Can You Build Your House - http://motolyrics.com/mel-tillis/can-you-build-your-house-lyrics.html

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...
