This Ole House Lyrics
This Ole House - Alma Cogan
Written by：Hamblen
This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' 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
He's a gettin' ready to meet his fate
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 his knees are a gettin' chilly
But he feel no fear or pain
'Cause he sees you tomorrow
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
You the gettin' ready to meet his fate
This ole house is afraid of thunder this
Ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night come flings his arms
This ole house is a getting feeble this
Ole house is a needing paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
He's get ready to meet the saints
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
He's a gettin' ready to meet his fate
Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
He's a gettin' ready to meet his fate
