Lyrics:

This ole house once knew the children
This ole house once new a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the stormy life

This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she 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 a got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain’t a gonna need this house no longer
She’s a getting ready to meet the saint

This ole house is getting shaky
This ole house is getting old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
Oh my knees are getting chilly
But I feel no, feel no pain
‘Cos I see an angel peaking
Through the broken window pane

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 a gotta time to fix the floor
Ain’t got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window pane
Ain’t a gonna need this house no longer
She’s a getting ready to meet the saint

This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night flings out its arms
This ole house is getting feeble
This ole house is in need of paint
Just like me it’s tuckered out
But I’m getting ready to meet the saint

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, nor mend no window pane
Ain’t a gonna need this house no longer
She’s a getting ready to meet the saint

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, nor mend no window pane
Ain’t a gonna need this house no longer
She’s a getting ready to meet the saint

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 (fade out…)
