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...
