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 ole house once rang with laughter
 This ole house heard many shouts
 Now she trembles in the darkness
 When the lightnin' 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 shingles
 Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
 Ain't got time to oil the hinges
 Nor to mend no windowpane
 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
 She's 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 I'm gettin' chilly
 But I feel no fear nor pain
 'Cause I see an angel peekin'
 Through 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 shingles
 Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
 Ain't got time to oil the hinges
 Nor to mend no windowpane
 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
 She's 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 ole house is needin' paint
 Just like me it's tuckered out
 But I'm a-gettin' 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 shingles
 Ain't got time to fix the floor
 Ain't got time to oil the hinges
 Nor no mend no windowpane
 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
 She's a-gettin' 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 shingles
 Ain't got time to fix the floor
 Ain't got time to oil the hinges
 Nor to mend no windowpane
 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
 She's a-gettin' 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 shingles
 Ain't got time to fix the floor
