THE LITTLE HOUSE WE BUILT (JUST O'ER THE HILL)
written by Hank Williams, Sr. & Don Helms
As recorded by Big Bill Lister

It seems like only yesterday, we planned our wedding day
I loved you then and I always will
But my jealous foolish pride, drove me from your side
And The Little House We Built Just O'er The Hill.

Each night I lay awake and watch my poor heart break
For darling your mem'ry lingers still
And though I pray and yearn, I know I can't return
To The Little House We Built Just O'er The Hill.

If I should pass you on the street, I know I couldn't speak
To see you would make my poor heart chill
Though her love for me has gone, she won't ever be alone
In The Little House We Built Just O'er The Hill.

BRIDGE
So cry ol' lyin' heart, you know you made us part
You cheated and now you'll pay the bill
And though I pray and yearn, I know I can't return
To The Little House We Built Just O'er The Hill.

I would give my life tonight, again to hold her tight
I'm lonely as a whippoorwill
Though her love for me has gone, she won't ever be alone
In The Little House We Built Just O'er The Hill.

BRIDGE
Each time I hear her name, I bow my head in shame
For God only knows how I feel
And until He calls for me, I'll live in memory
In The Little House We Built Just O'er The Hill.
