This Ole House Jimmy Dean

^CThis ole house once knew my children This ole ^Fhouse once knew my wife This ole ^G7house was home and comfort As we ^Cfought the storms of life

This ole house once rang with laughter

This ole ^Fhouse heard many a shouts Now she t^Crembles in the darkness When the l^G7ightnin' walks a^Cbout

I ain't a gonna n^Feed this house no longer Ain't a gonna ^Cneed this house no more Ain't got ^G7time to fix his shingles Ain't got ^Ctime to fix the door

Ain't got ^Ftime to oil the hinges Nor to ^Cmind the window panes I ain't gonna ^G7need this house no longer I'm gettin' ready to meet the ^Csaints

This ole house is a gettin' shaky

This ole ^Fhouse is a gettin' old This ole ^G7house stands in the rain This ole h^Couse stands in the cold

Oh my knees are gettin' chilly

But I ^Ffeel no fear or pain Cause I ^Csee an angel a peekin' Through a br^G7oken window ^Cpane

This ole house is afraid of thunder

This ole h^Fouse is afraid of storms This ole ^G7house just groans and trembles When the ^Cnight wind flings his arms

This ole house is a gettin' feeble

This ole ^Fhouse is a needin' paint Just like m^Ce it's tuckered out But I'm gonna get ^G7ready to meet the ^Csaints

Now my hound dog lies a-sleepin'

He don't ^Fknow I'm gonna leave Else he'd ^G7wake up by the fireplace And he'd s^Cit there and howl and greive

But my huntin' days are over

Ain't gonna h^Funt the coon no more Gabriel d^Cone grought in my chariot When the w^G7ind blew down the d^Coor
