Lyrics:
This ole house once knew his childrenThis ole house once knew his wifeThis ole house was home and comfortAs they fought the storms of lifeThis old house once rang with laughterThis old house heard many shoutsNow he trembles in the darknessWhen 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 shinglesAin't got time to fix the floorAin't got time to oil the hingesNor to mend the windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerHe's a-gettin' ready to meet the saintsThis ole house is a-gettin' shakyThis ole house is a-gettin' oldThis ole house lets in the rainThis ole house lets in the coldOn his knees are a-gettin' chillyBut he feel no fear nor pain'Cause he see an angel peekin'Through a broken windowpane(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 shinglesAin't got time to fix the floorAin't got time to oil the hingesNor to mend the windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerHe's a-gettin' ready to meet the saintsThis ole house is afraid of thunderThis ole house is afraid of stormsThis ole house just groans and tremblesWhen the night wind flings its armsThis ole house is gettin' feebleThis old house is needin' paintJust like him it's tuckered outBut he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints(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 shinglesAin't got time to fix the floorAin't got time to oil the hingesNor to mend the windowpaneAin't a-gonna need this house no longerHe's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints(Ready to meet the saints)
