This old house once knew my children

This old house once knew my wife

This old house was home and comfort

As we fought the storms of life

This old house once rang with laughter

This old house knew many shouts

Now it trembles in the darkness

When the lightning walks about

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

I'm getting ready to meet the saints

This old house is getting shaky

This old house is getting old

This old house lets in the rain and

This old house lets in the cold

My old knees are getting chilly

But I feel no fear or pain

'Cause I see an angel peeping through

The broken window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

Ain't gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the window pane

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

I'm getting ready to meet the saints!
