This Ole House

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
