This Ole House
This ole house once knew my children
This ole house once knew my wife
This old house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the night wind walks about
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 mend the window pane
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a gettin shaky
This ole house is a gettin old
This ole house lets in the rain
This old house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin chilly
But I feel no fear of pain
Cause I see an angel peekin
Through a broken window pane
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 mend the window pane
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints
Now my old hound dog belies a sleeping
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
And he'd sit there, howl and grieve
But my hunting days are over
I aint gonna hunt the 'coon no more
Gabriel done brought in chariot
When the wind blew down the door
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
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints
When the saints, go marching in,
Oh when the saints go marching in
Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in.
Oh when the saints (Oh when the saints)
Go marching in (Go marching in)
Oh when the saints go marching in.
Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching
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
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house once knew my wife
This old house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the night wind walks about
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 mend the window pane
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a gettin shaky
This ole house is a gettin old
This ole house lets in the rain
This old house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin chilly
But I feel no fear of pain
Cause I see an angel peekin
Through a broken window pane
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 mend the window pane
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer

Ain't gonna need this house no more

Ain't gonna need this house no longer

When the saints go marching in.
Oh when the saints (Oh when the saints)
Go marching in (Go marching in)
Oh when the saints go marching in.
Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching
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
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints
