Well, 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 the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor |
|
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle window panes |
|
Ain't I gonna need this house no longer |
|
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints |
|
Well this ole house once |
|
I knew my children |
|
This house once |
|
I knew my wife |
|
This ole house was home and comfort |
|
As we fought the storms of life |
|
This ole house once rang with laughter |
|
This ole house heard many shouts |
|
But now it trembles in the darkness |
|
When the lightnin' walks about |
|
Well, 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 the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor |
|
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle window panes |
|
Ain't I gonna need this house no longer |
|
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints |
|
Now my old hound dog lies a sleepin' |
|
He don't know |
|
I'm gonna leave |
|
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace |
|
And he'd hound more and grieve |
|
But my huntin' days are over |
|
Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more |
|
Gabriel just brought in my chariot |
|
When the wind blew down the door |
|
Well, 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 the shingles, ain't got time to fix the floor |
|
Ain't got time to oil the hinges nor to mingle window panes |
|
Ain't I gonna need this house no longer |
|
I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints |
