[ti: This Ole House]
[length: 03:03]
[00:01.68]This ole house once knew my children.
[00:20.53]This ole house once knew my life.
[00:22.98]This ole house was home and comfort
[00:25.65]As we lived through storm and strife.
[00:27.93]This ole house once rang with laughter.
[00:30.77]This ole house heard many shouts.
[00:33.08]Now she trembles in the darkness
[00:35.75]When the lightning walks about.
[00:38.16]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer.
[00:41.16]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no more.
[00:43.35]Ain’t got time to fix the shingles.
[00:45.86]Ain’t got time to fix the floor.
[00:48.22]Ain’t got time to oil the hinges,
[00:50.89]Nor to mend the window panes.
[00:53.43]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer.
[00:56.15]I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints.
[01:01.04]This ole house is gettin’ shaky.
[01:14.78]This ole house is gettin’ old.
[01:17.53]This ole house lets in the rain.
[01:19.82]This ole house lets in the cold.
[01:22.74]On my knees I’m gettin’ shaky,
[01:25.00]But I feel no fear or pain,
[01:27.58]’Cause I see an angel peekin’
[01:30.07]Through a broken window pane.
[01:32.82]I ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer.
[01:35.43]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no more.
[01:37.92]Ain’t got time to fix the shingles.
[01:40.41]Ain’t got time to fix the floor.
[01:42.99]I ain’t got time to oil the hinges,
[01:45.61]Nor to mend the window panes.
[01:47.83]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer.
[01:50.67]I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints.
[01:58.15]This ole house is afraid of thunder.
[02:09.63]This ole house is afraid of storms.
[02:12.13]This ole house just groans and trembles
[02:14.78]When the night wind flings its arms.
[02:17.19]This ole house is gettin’ feeble.
[02:19.60]This old house is needin’ paint.
[02:22.23]Just like me it’s tuckered out,
[02:24.36]But I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints.
[02:27.17]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no longer.
[02:30.20]Ain’t a-gonna need this house no more.
[02:32.32]Ain’t got time to fix the shingles.
[02:34.89]Ain’t got time to fix the floor.
[02:37.38]I ain’t got time to oil the hinges,
[02:39.76]Nor to mend the window panes.
[02:42.43]Ain’t gonna need this house no longer.
[02:45.33]I’m a-gettin’ ready to meet the saints.
[02:47.84]I’m gettin’ ready to meet the saints.
