This Old House/When The Saints Go Marching In

Lyrics

CATHEDRALS
 This ole house once knew his children
 This ole house once knew his wife
 This ole house was home and comfort
 As they fought the storms of life
 This old house once rang with laughter
 This old house heard many shouts
 Now he 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 got time to fix the floor
 Ain't got time to oil the hinges
 Nor to mend the window-pane
 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
 He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
 This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
 This ole house is a-gettin' old
 This ole house lets in the rain
 This ole house lets in the cold
 Oh his knees are-a gettin' chilly
 But he feel no fear or pain
 'Cause he sees an angel peekin'
 Through a broken window-pane
 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 a-gettin' feeble
 This old house is a-needin' paint
 Just like him it's tuckered out
 But he'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 the window-pane
 Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
 He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
