This Ole House

This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin walks about
(Aint a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Aint a-gonna need this house no more )
Aint got time to fix the shingles
Aint a-got time to fix the floor
Aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Aint a-gonna need this house no longer
Shes a-gettin ready to meet the saints
This ole house is gettin shaky
This ole house is gettin old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
On my knees Im gettin chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
Cause I see an angel peekin
Through the broken windowpane
(Aint a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Aint a-gonna need this house no more)
Aint got time to fix the shingles
Aint a-got time to fix the floor
Aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Aint a-gonna need this house no longer
Shes a-gettin ready to meet the saints
This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings out its arms
This ole house is gettin feeble
This old house is needin paint
Just like me its tuckered out
But Im a-gettin ready to meet the saints
(Aint a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Aint a-gonna need this house no more)
Aint got time to fix the shingles
Aint got time to fix the floor
Aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Aint a-gonna need this house no longer
Shes a-gettin ready to meet the saints
(Aint a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Aint a-gonna need this house no more)
Aint got time to fix the shingles
Aint got time to fix the floor
Aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Aint a-gonna need this house no longer
Shes a-gettin ready to meet the saints
