=================================
This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about
Ain't a gonna need
this house no longer
Ain't a 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 the window pane
Ain't gonna need
this house no longer
He's getting ready
to meet the saints
This ole house is a getting shaky
This ole house is a getting old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
Oh, his knees are a getting chilly
but he feels no fear of pain
'cause he sees an angel peeking
through a broken window pane
Ain't a gonna need
this house no longer
Ain't a 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 the window pane
Ain't gonna need
this house no longer
He's getting ready
to meet the saints
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
When the night is a getting feeble
This old house is a needing paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
But he's getting ready
to meet the saints
Ain't a gonna need
this house no longer
Ain't a 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 the window pane
Ain't gonna need
this house no longer
And he's getting ready
to meet the saints
