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 old house once rang with laughter This old house heard many shouts Now he trembles in the darkness As the lightnin' walks about Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more I 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 windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's 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 Oh, his knees are a-gettin' chilly But he feels no fear nor pain 'Cause he sees an angel peekin' Through a broken windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more I 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 windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-gettin' 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 As the night wind flings its arms This ole house is gettin' feeble This old house is needin' paint Just like him he's tuckered out He's 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 I 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 windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints (ready to meet the saints)
