This Old House Lyrics - Shakin Stevens

This old house once knew my children 

This old house once knew my wife 

This old house was home and comfort 

As we fought the storms of life 

This old house once rang with laughter 

This old house heard many shouts 

Now it trembles in the darkness 

When the lightning walks about 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer 

Ain't 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 window pane 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer 

I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky 

This old house is gettin' old 

This old house lets in the rain 

This old house lets the cold 

On his knees he's gettin' chilly 

But he feels no fear or pain 

'Cause he sees an angel peepin' 

Through a broken window pane 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer 

Ain't 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 window pane 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer 

I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints

This old house is gettin' shaky 

This old house is gettin' old 

This old house lets in the rain 

This old house lets in the cold 

On his knees he's gettin' chilly 

But he feels no fear or pain 

'Cause he sees an angel peepin' 

Through a broken window pane 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer 

Ain't 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 window pain 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer 

I'm getting ready to meet the saints
