Willie Nelson - This Old House songtekst
Je score:
This old house once knew his children This old house once knew his wife This old 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 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 windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-getting ready to meet the saints This old house is a-getting shaky This old house is a-getting old This old house lets in the rain This old house lets in the cold On his knees I'm getting chilly But he feel no fear nor pain 'Cause he see an angel peeking 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 a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-getting ready to meet the saints This old house is afraid of thunder This old house is afraid of storms This old house just groans and trembles When the night wind flings its arms This old house is getting feeble This old house is needing paint Just like him it's tuckered out But he's a-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 windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-getting ready to meet the saints This old house dog lies a-sleeping He don't know I'm gonna leave Else he'd wake up by the fireplace And he'd sit there and howl and grieve But my hunting 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 the windowpane Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
