The Carpenter's Song
My lot grew lighter day by day;
The children grew apace;
I built a little house last May--
No palace like that place.
And--"Father," said she, "sure you know
That once we ate dry bread?
Into our own house now we go!"--
The mother, she is dead!
Her house the undertaker made,
And not the carpenter;
My grace unsaid, the pastor prayed
In loud tones over her.
The day that's spent with merriment,
'Mid blossoms blue and red,
No music lent--my heart was rent!--
The mother, she is dead.
We pulled together many a year;
Like old bird-mates were we;
But who e'er thinks of dying here
While both together be?
Fast barred is every window-blind--
I care not what is said;
Yes, sell the house! I do not mind--
The mother, she is dead!

The 60s passed and faded and I grew older, and in 1987 bought a house in upstate New York, and it turned out that John Brown was buried down the road from my house and that he had lived there longer than anywhere else and his house was still standing.

The ass well knows in whose house he brays.
The rat does not leave the cat's house with a bellyful.
Better repair the gutter than the whole house.
Better just repair the gutter than the whole house.
Never mention a rope in the house of a thief.
Supper is soon served up in a plentiful house.
Never mention rope in the house of a man who has been hanged.
If you have a friend who is a physician, send him to your enemy's house.
It fares ill with the house when the distaff commands the sword.
If you have a friend who is a doctor, then send him to your enemy's house.
