Lyrics:

This Ole House Once Knew My Children
this Ole House Once Knew My Wife
this Ole House Was Home And Comfort
as We Fought The Storms Of Life
this Ole House Once Rang With Laughter
this Ole House Heard Many Shouts
now She Trembles In The Darkness
when The Lightnin' 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 No Window Pane
ain't Gonna Need This House No Longer
i'm A-Gettin' Ready To Meet The Saints

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
on My Knees I'm Gettin' Chilly
but I Feel No Fear Or Pain
'cause I See An Angel Peekin'
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 No Window Pane
ain't Gonna Need This House No Longer
i'm A-Gettin' Ready To Meet The Saints

now 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 A-Gettin' Feeble
this Ole House Is A-Needin' Paint
just Like Me It's Tuckered Out
but I'm A-Gettin' 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 No Window Pane
ain't Gonna Need This House No Longer
i'm A-Gettin' Ready To Meet The Saints

and My Old Hound Dog Lies A Sleepin'
he Don't Know I'm Gonna Leave
else He'd Wake Up By The Fire Place
and He'd Sit Down, 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

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 No Window Pane
ain't Gonna Need This House No Longer
i'm A-Gettin' Ready To Meet The Saints
i'm Ready To Meet The Saints
