[Verse]
CThis ole house once knew his children
This ole hFouse once knew his wife
This ole hG7ouse was home and comfort
As they fFought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old hFouse heard many shouts
Now she trCembles in the darkness
When the lG7ightnin' walks abCout
[Verse]
Ain't a-gonna Fneed this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna nCeed this house no more
Ain't got tG7ime to fix the shingles
Ain't got tCime to fix the floor
Ain't got tFime to oil the hinges
Nor to mCend the windowpane
Ain't a-gonna nG7eed this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the sCaints
[Verse]
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
This ole Fhouse is a-gettin' old
This ole hG7ouse lets in the rain
This ole hCouse lets in the cold
On his knees I'm gettin' chilly
But he fFeel no fear nor pain
'Cause I sCee an angel peekin'
Through a bG7roken windowpCane
[Verse]
This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole hFouse is afraid of storms
This ole hG7ouse just groans and trembles
When the nCight wind flings its arms
This ole house is gettin' feeble
This old hFouse is needin' paint
Just like mCe it's tuckered out
But I'm a-gettin' reG7ady to meet the sCaints
[Verse]
Now my ole house dog lies a-sleepin'
He don't kFnow I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wG7ake up by the fireplace
And he'd sCit there and howl and grieve
But my huntin' days are over
Ain't gonna Fhunt the coon no more
Gabriel Cdone brought in my chariot
When the wG7ind blew down the doCor
