This Ole House

In the style of

Rosemary Clooney

Lyrics

this ol' house
once knew
his children
this ol' house
once knew his wife

this ol' house
was home and comfort
as they fought
the storms of life

this ol' house
once rang
with laughter
this ol' house
heard many shouts

now he trembles
in the darkness
when the lightnin'
walks about

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 windowpane

ain't gonna
need this house
no longer
he's a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints

this ol' house
is a-gettin' shaky
this ol' house
is a-gettin' old

this ol' house
lets in the rain
this ol' house
lets in the cold

oh his knees are
a-gettin' chilly
but he feels
no fear nor pain

'cause he sees
an angel peekin'
through a broken
windowpane

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 windowpane

ain't gonna
need this house
no longer
he's a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints

this ol' house
is afraid of thunder
this ol' house
is afraid of storms

this ol' house
just groans
and trembles
when the night wind
flings its arms

this ol' house
is a-gettin' feeble
this ol' house
is a-needin' paint

just like him
it's tuckered out
but he's
a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints

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 windowpane

ain't gonna
need this house
no longer
he's a-gettin' ready
to meet the saints
