This Ole House versuri

This Ole House lyrics by Billie Jo Spears

Verse 1
This old house has known some children
This old house once knew a wife
This old house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin’ walks about

Chorus
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 windowpane
Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
I’m a-gettin’ rеady to meet the saints

Verse 2
This old house is a-gettin’ shaky
This old housе is a-gettin’ old
This old house lets in the rain
This old house lets in the cold
Oh my knees are a-gettin’ chilly
But I feel no fear or pain
‘Cause I see an angel peepin’
Through a broken windowpane

Chorus
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 windowpane
Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
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 to mend the windowpane
Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer
I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints
