This old house once knew its children
|
This old house once knew its wife
|
This old 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 it trembles in the darkness
|
When the lightning walks about
|
|
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
|
Ain't 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 pain
|
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
|
He's getting ready to meet the saints
|
|
This old house is gettin' shaky
|
This old house is gettin' old
|
This old house has seen the rain
|
This old house has seen the cold
|
|
Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
|
But he feels no fear or pain
|
'Cause he sees an angel peepin'
|
Through a broken window pane
|
|
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
|
Ain't 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 pain
|
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
|
He's getting ready to meet the saints
|
|
This old house is gettin' shaky
|
This old house is gettin' old
|
This old house has seen the rain
|
This old house has seen the cold
|
|
Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
|
But he feels no fear or pain
|
'Cause he sees an angel peepin'
|
Through a broken window pane
|
|
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
|
Ain't 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 pain
|
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
|
He's getting ready to meet the saints (repeat)
