This Ole House/When the Saints Go Marching In Songtext
von Cathedra

This ole house, once knew my children
This ole house, once 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
Now she 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 a-got time, to fix the floor
Ain′t got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend a windowpane
Ain′t a-gonna need this house no longer
I am gettin' 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 ole house, lets in the cold


On my knees are a-gettin′ shaky but I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an Angel peekin′t hrough 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 a-got time, to fix the floor
Ain't got time, to oil the hinges
Nor to mend a windowpane
Ain′t a-gonna need this house no longer
I am a-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 sit there and gowl and grieve

But my huntin′ days are over
I ain′t a-gonna hunt the coon no more
Gabriel done brought in my chariot
When the wind blew down the door


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 a-got time, to fix the floor
Ain't got time, to oil the hinges nor to mend a windowpane
Ain′t a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
I am gettin' ready to meet the saints

When the Saints (when the Saints) go marchin′ in (go marchin′ in)
When the Saints go marchin' in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin′ in

When the Saints go marchin' in
When the Saints go marchin′ in
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in

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 a-got time, to fix the floor
Ain′t got time, to oil the hinges
Nor to mend a windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain′t a-gonna need this house no longer
I am gettin' ready to meet the saints (saints)
