Come On Up to the House

Music Mondays

Listening to BluegrassCountry.org the other evening, I heard a neat song called Come On Up to the House recorded by Sarah Jarosz. The original version of Come On Up to the House is by Tom Waits.

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short?
Come on up to the house.
The seas are stormy,
and you can’t find no port;
come on up to the house.

Come on up to the house.
Come on up to the house.
The world is not my home;
I’m just a passin’ through.
Come on up to the house.
