This ole house once knew my children
This ole house once knew my wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about
Well, I ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
No time to fix the shingles
No time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window panes
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
This ole house is a-gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
My knees are gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through a broken window pane
Well, I ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
No time to fix the shingles
No time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window panes
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
My ole hound dog lies a-sleepin'
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd raise up by the fireplace
And he'd sit there and howl and grieve
My huntin' days are over
Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel's done brought in my chariot
When the wind blew down the door
Well, I ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
No time to fix the shingles
No time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no window panes
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ready to meet the saints
