This Old House

[00:04.53] This old house once knew his children
[00:06.68] This old house once knew his wife
[00:08.73] This old house was home and comfort
[00:10.70] As they fought the storms of life
[00:13.23] This old house once rang with laughter
[00:15.04] This old house heard many shouts
[00:17.39] Now he trembles in the darkness
[00:19.38] When the lightning walks about
[00:21.86] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[00:23.99] Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
[00:26.04] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[00:28.38] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[00:30.66] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[00:32.65] Nor to mend the windowpane
[00:34.94] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[00:37.05] He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
[00:43.94] This old house is a-getting shaky
[00:45.90] This old house is a-getting old
[00:48.37] This old house lets in the rain
[00:50.47] This old house lets in the cold
[00:52.52] On my knees I'm getting chilly
[00:54.59] But he feel no fear nor pain
[00:56.75] 'Cause he see an angel peeking
[00:59.22] Through a broken windowpane
[01:01.63] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[01:03.72] Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
[01:05.87] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[01:08.29] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[01:10.20] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[01:12.30] Nor to mend the windowpane
[01:14.73] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[01:16.94] He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
[01:29.44]
[01:36.88] This old house is afraid of thunder
[01:38.96] This old house is afraid of storms
[01:41.25] This old house just groans and trembles
[01:43.20] When the night wind flings its arms
[01:45.49] This old house is getting feeble
[01:47.53] This old house is needing paint
[01:49.79] Just like him it's tuckered out
[01:52.16] But he's a-getting ready to meet the saints
[01:54.32] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[01:56.42] Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
[01:58.63] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[02:00.79] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[02:03.07] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[02:05.05] Nor to mend the windowpane
[02:07.55] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[02:09.52] He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
[02:16.46] This old house dog lies a-sleeping
[02:18.41] He don't know I'm gonna leave
[02:20.88] Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
[02:22.97] And he'd sit there and howl and grieve
[02:25.28] But my hunting days are over
[02:27.24] Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
[02:29.39] Gabriel done brought in my chariot
[02:31.52] When the wind blew down the door
[02:34.16] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[02:36.26] Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
[02:38.12] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[02:40.46] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[02:42.65] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[02:44.73] Nor to mend the windowpane
[02:47.98] Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
[02:49.54] He's a-getting ready to meet the saints
[02:53.10]
