CThis ole house once knew my children, this ole hFouse once knew my wife; This ole hGouse was home and comfort as we Cfought the storms of life. This old hCouse once rang with laughter, this old Fhouse heard many shouts; Now she tGrembles in the darkness when the liCghtnin' walks about. Ain't a-gonna neFed this house no longer, Ain't a-gonna neCed this house no more; Ain't got tGime to fix the shingles, aCin't got C/Btime to Am7fix the floor, Am7/G F F° (III) F° C C/B Am7 Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mend the win-dow-pane; G° G G7 Ain't gonna need this house no longer-- I'm a-gettin' rGeady to G/Ameet G/Bthe saCints. This ole house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole house is a-gettin' old; This ole house lets in the rain, this ole house lets in the cold. Oh, my knees are a-gettin' shaky, but I feel no fear nor pain, 'Cause I see an angel peekin' through a broken windowpane.
Repeat Refrain: This ole house is afraid of thunder, this ole house is afraid of storms; This ole house just groans and trembles when the night wind flings its arms. This ole house is gettin' feeble, this old house is needin' paint; Just like me it's tuckered out, but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. Repeat Refrain: My ol' hound dog lies a-sleepin'--he don't know I'm gonna leave, Else he'd wake up by the fireplace and he'd sit there and howl and grieve. But my huntin' days are over; ain't gonna hunt the coon no more; Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door. Repeat Refrain:
