Artist/Band: Jimmy Dean
Lyrics for Song: This Ole House
Lyrics for Album: The Complete Columbia Hits and More [Collectors' C [2004]



(Stuart Hamblen)



This ole house once knew my children

This ole house once 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

But now she trembles in the darkness

Oh, when the lightnin' walks about.



I ain't a gonna need this house no longer

Ain't a gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix his shingles

Got no time to fix the door.



Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mingle the window panes

I ain't gonna need this house no longer

I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints.



This ole house is a gettin' shaky

This ole house is a gettin' old

This ole house stands in the rain

This ole house stands in the cold



Oh, my knees are gettin' chilly

But I feel no fear or pain

'Cause I can see an angel a peekin'

Through a broken window pane.



I ain't a gonna need this house no longer

Ain't a gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix his shingles

Got no time to fix the door.



Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mingle the window panes

I ain't gonna need this house no longer

I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints.



This ole house is afraid of thunder

This ole house is afraid of storms

This ole house just groans and trembles

When the night come flings his arms.



This ole house is a gettin' feeble

This ole house is a needin' paint

Just like me it's tuckered out

But I'm gonna get ready to meet the saints.



I ain't a gonna need this house no longer

Ain't a gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix his shingles

Got no time to fix the door.



Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mingle the window panes

I ain't gonna need this house no longer

I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints...
