Rosemary Clooney - This ole house lyrics

Your rating:

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 
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 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 of pain 
'Cause he see 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 
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 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 old house is a-needin' paint 
Just like him it's tuckered out 
But 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 
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 
Ready to meet the saints
