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. G
