This Ole House
In the style of
Lyrics
this ol' house
once knew
his children
this ol' house
once knew his wife
this ol' house
was home and comfort
as they fought
the storms of life
this ol' house
once rang
with laughter
this ol' house
heard many shouts
now he trembles
in the darkness
when the lightnin'
walks about
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 gonna
need this house
no longer
he's a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints
this ol' house
is a-gettin' shaky
this ol' house
is a-gettin' old
this ol' house
lets in the rain
this ol' 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 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 gonna
need this house
no longer
he's a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints
this ol' house
is afraid of thunder
this ol' house
is afraid of storms
this ol' house
just groans
and trembles
when the night wind
flings its arms
this ol' house
is a-gettin' feeble
this ol' house
is a-needin' paint
just like him
it's tuckered out
but he's
a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints
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 gonna
need this house
no longer
he's a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints
