This Old House

[00:06.23] Written by S. Hamblen
[00:06.57] This old house once knew its children
[00:08.97] This old house once knew its wife
[00:11.25] This old house was home and comfort
[00:13.66] As they fought the storms of life
[00:15.96] This old house once rang with laughter
[00:18.35] This old house heard many shouts
[00:20.66] Now it trembles in the darkness
[00:22.92] When the lightning walks about
[00:25.49] Ain't gonna need this house no longer
[00:27.93] Ain't gonna need this house no more
[00:29.95] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[00:32.44] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[00:34.48] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[00:37.04] Nor to mend the window pain
[00:39.42] Ain't gonna need this house no longer
[00:41.84] He's getting ready to meet the saints
[00:46.09]
[00:51.10] This old house is gettin' shaky
[00:53.48] This old house is gettin' old
[00:55.87] This old house has seen the rain
[00:58.12] This old house has seen the cold
[01:00.43] Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
[01:02.92] But he feels no fear or pain
[01:05.21] 'Cause he sees an angel peepin'
[01:07.69] Through a broken window pane
[01:09.81] Ain't gonna need this house no longer
[01:12.23] Ain't gonna need this house no more
[01:14.47] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[01:16.85] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[01:18.93] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[01:21.72] Nor to mend the window pain
[01:23.98] Ain't gonna need this house no longer
[01:26.29] He's getting ready to meet the saints
[01:30.48]
[01:43.90] This old house is gettin' shaky
[01:46.33] This old house is gettin' old
[01:48.66] This old house has seen the rain
[01:51.06] This old house has seen the cold
[01:53.39] Oh his knees are gettin' chilly
[01:55.72] But he feels no fear or pain
[01:58.18] 'Cause he sees an angel peepin'
[02:00.38] Through a broken window pane
[02:02.76] Ain't gonna need this house no longer
[02:05.13] Ain't gonna need this house no more
[02:07.33] Ain't got time to fix the shingles
[02:09.74] Ain't got time to fix the floor
[02:11.87] Ain't got time to oil the hinges
[02:14.66] Nor to mend the window pain
[02:16.90] Ain't gonna need this house no longer
[02:21.78] He's getting ready to meet the saints (repeat)
