This Ole House Lyrics - Johnny Tillotson

This ole house once I knew my children this ole house once I knew my wife 

This ole house was joy and comfort as we fought the storms of life 

This ole house once rang with laughter this ole house heard many a shouts 

Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about 

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 shingles ain't got time to fix the floor 

Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle the window panes 

I ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints 

This ole house is a gettin' shaky this ole house is a gettin' old 

This ole house stands in the rain this ole house stands in the cold 

Oh my knees are gettin' chilly but I feel no fear or pain 

Cause I can see an angel peekin' through a broken window pane 

I ain't a gonna need this house no longer... 

This ole house is afraid of thunder this ole house is afraid of storms 

This ole house just groans and trembles when the night come flings his 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 gonna get ready to meet the saints
