Lyrics

This old house once knew children
This old house once knew a 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 she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about
(Ain't gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's gettin' ready to meet the saints
Yeah
This old house is gettin' shaky
This old house is gettin' old
This old house lets in the rain
And this old house lets in the cold
Only my knees are getting chilly
But I feel no, feel no pain
'Cause I see an angel peepin'
Through the broken window pane
(Ain't gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's gettin' ready to meet the saints
Woo!
I'm with you
Oh, that hoo-hoo
This old house is 'fraid of thunder
This old house is 'fraid of storms
This old house just groans and trembles
When the night flings out its arms
This old house is gettin' feeble
This old house is in need of paint
Just like me it's tuckered out, but
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints
(Ain't gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's gettin' ready to meet the saints
(Ain't gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's gettin' ready to meet the saints
(Ain't gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
