This Ole House
|
Brumley
|
This old house once knew my children
This ole house once knew my wife
This ole house brought joy and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many a shout
Now she trembles in the darkness
As the lightning walks about
Chorus
I 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 singles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window panes
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm 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 it's 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 gettin' ready to meet the Saints
Chorus
I 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 singles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window panes
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm gettin ready to meet the Saints
Turnaround
My ole hound dog lies a'sleepin
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 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
Chorus
I 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 singles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window panes
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm gettin ready to meet the Saints
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm gettin' ready--to meet the -- Saints
Back...
