This Ole House

This ole house once knew my children
This ole house once knew my life
This ole house was home and comfort
As we lived through storm and strife
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightning 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 got time to fix the floor
Aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window panes
Aint a-gonna need this house no longer
Im 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 shaky
But I feel no fear or pain
Cause I see an angel peekin
Through a broken window pane
I 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
I aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window panes
Aint a-gonna need this house no longer
Im 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 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
I aint got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window panes
Aint gonna need this house no longer
Im a-gettin ready to meet the saints
Im gettin ready to meet the saints
