This olCe house once knew my children, this ole house onFce knew my wife;
This ole hGouse was home and comfort as we Cfought the storms of life.
This old hCouse once rang with laughter, this old Fhouse heard many shouts;
Now she tGrembles in the darkness when the liCghtnin' walks about.
Ain't a-gonna neFed this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna neCed this house no more;
Ain't got tGime to fix the shingles, aCin't got C/Btime to Am7fix the floor,
Am7Ain'Gt got tiFme toFdim oil the hingesFdim nor to meCnd the wC/Bin-dow-Am7pane;
GdimAin't gonna Gneed this house no loG7nger--
I'm a-gettin' rGeady to G/Ameet G/Bthe saCints.
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole house is a-gettin' old;
This ole house lets in the rain, this ole house lets in the cold.
Oh, my knees are a-gettin' shaky, but I feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I see an angel peekin' through a broken windowpane.
Repeat Refrain:
This ole house is afraid of thunder, this ole house is afraid of storms;
This ole house just groans and trembles when the night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble, this old house is needin' paint;
Just like me it's tuckered out, but I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.
Repeat Refrain:
My ol' hound dog lies a-sleepin'--he don't know I'm gonna leave,
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace and he'd sit there and howl and grieve.
But my huntin' days are over; ain't gonna hunt the coon no more;
Gabriel done brought in my chariot when the wind blew down the door.
Repeat Refrain:
