This ole house once knew my children in this house I was a wife
|
This ole house was home and comfort as I 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 got time to fix the floors
|
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle the window panes
|
I ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a gettin' ready to meet the saints
|
[ piano ]
|
This ole house is a gettin' shaky this ole house is a gettin' old
|
This ole house stands in the rain this ole house stands in the cold
|
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly but I feel no fear or pain
|
Cause I see an angel peeking through a broken window pane
|
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer...
|
[ guitar ]
|
This ole house is afraid of thunder this ole house is afraid of storms
|
This ole house just groans and trembles when the night went flings its arms
|
This ole house is a gettin' feeble this ole house is a needin' paint
|
Just like me it's broken out but I'm gonna get ready to meet the saints
|
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer...
|
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer...
