The Cathedrals - Best Of The Cathedrals

This Old House/Saints Go Marching In - Medley/Live

This ol' house once knew my children
This ol' house once knew my wife
This ol' house was a home and comfort as we fought the storms of life

This ol' house once a-rang with laughter
This ol' house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness when the night wind walks about

But I 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, or to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-getting ready to meet the saints

This ol' house is a-getting shaky
This ol' house, it's getting old
This ol' house lets in the rain, and this ol' house lets in the cold
On my knees, I'm getting chilly, but I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an angel peeking through a broken window pane

But I 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, or to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-getting ready to meet the saints

Now, my ol' hound dog lies a-sleeping
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
He'd just sit there and howl and grieve
But my hunting days are over, I ain't gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door

But I 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, or to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-getting ready to meet the saints

When the saints (when the saints) go marching in (marching in)
When the saints go marching in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

When the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
Oh Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints come marching in

I 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, or to mend no window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-getting ready to meet the saints
