This Old House

This old house was to my children,
This old house was to my 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 it trembles in the darkness when at night one walks about.

I ain't a gonna need this house no longer,
I ain't a gonna need this house no more,
Ain't time to fix the shingles,
Ain't got time to fix the floor,
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
Or to mend no window panes,
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer,
I'm getting ready to meet the saints.

This old house is gettin' shaky,
This old house is gettin' old,
This old house lets in the rain,
This old house lets in the cold,
Now my knees are gettin' chilly,
But I feel no fear of pain,
For I see an angel peepin' through a broken window pane.

I ain't a gonna need this house no longer,
I ain't a gonna need this house no more,
Ain't time to fix the shingles,
Ain't got time to fix the floor,
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
Or to mend no window panes,
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer,
I'm getting ready to meet the saints.

My old hound dog lies a sleepin',
He don't know I'm gonna leave,
'Else he'd wake up by the fireplace,
Sit there and howl and grieve,
But my huntin' days are over,
Ain't a gonna hunt the coon no more,
He done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door.

I ain't a gonna need this house no longer,
I ain't a gonna need this house no more,
Ain't time to fix the shingles,
Ain't got time to fix the floor,
Ain't got time to oil the hinges,
Or to mend no window panes,
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer,
I'm getting ready to meet the saints.
