This Old House Lyrics

    Written by s. hamblen

    This old house once knew its children
    This old house once knew its 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 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 pain
    Ain't gonna need this house no longer
    He's getting ready to meet the saints

    This old house is gettin' shaky
    This old house is gettin' old
    This old house has seen the rain
    This old house has seen the cold

    Oh his knees are 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
    He's getting ready to meet the saints

    This old house is gettin' shaky
    This old house is gettin' old
    This old house has seen the rain
    This old house has seen the cold

    Oh his knees are 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
    He's getting ready to meet the saints (repeat)
