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

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 

Over there, sits the chair
where she'd bring the paper to me 
and sit down on my knee and whisper, "Oh I love you" 

But now she's gone forever
and this old house will never be the same
without the love which we once knew 

Straight ahead, that's the bed 
where we lay in love together
and lord knows we had a good thing goin' here 

See her picture on the table
don't it look like she'd be able
just to touch me and say, "Good mornin' dear" 

There's her rings, all her things
and her clothes are in the closet
like she left them when she tore my world apart 

As you'll leave you'll see the nursery
Lord she left me without mercy
taking nothing, but our baby and my heart

Step right up
Come on in...
