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 lightnin' 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 got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle the window panes
Sin'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 gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain this ole house lets in the cold
On my knees are gettin' chilly but I feel no fear or pain
Cause I can see an angel peekin' through a broken window pane
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer...
[ guitar ]
My old hound dog lies a sleepin' he don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace and he'd sit there and howl and grieve
But my huntin' days are over ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer...
