This Ole House
This ole house once knew his childrenThis ole house once knew a wifeThis ole house was home and comfortAs we fought the storms of lifeThis old house once rang with laughterThis old house heard many shoutsNow she trembles in the darknessWhen the lightning walks about
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)Ain't got time to fix the shinglesAin't got time to fix the floorAin't got a time to oil the hingesNor to mend no windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerShe's a-getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house is getting shakyThis ole house is getting oldThis ole house lets in the rainThis ole house lets in the coldOn my knees I'm getting chillyBut I feel no fear nor pain'Cause I see an angel peekingThrough the broken windowpane
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)Ain't got time to fix the shinglesAin't a-got a time to fix the floorAin't got time to oil the hingesNor to mend no windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerShe's a-getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house is afraid of thunderThis ole house is afraid of stormsThis ole house just groans and tremblesWhen the night wind flings out its armsThis ole house is getting feebleThis old house is needing paintJust like me it's tuckered outBut I'm a-getting ready to meet the saints
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)Ain't got time to fix the shinglesAin't got time to fix the floorAin't got a time to oil the hingesNor to mend no windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerShe's a-getting ready to meet the saints
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)Ain't got time to fix the shinglesAin't got time to fix the floorAin't got time to oil the hingesNor to mend no windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerShe's a-getting ready to meet the saints
