This Old House Songtext
von Shakin’ Stevens

This Old House Songtext

This ol′ house once knew his children
This ol' house once knew a wife
This ol′ house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old 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 no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She′s a-gettin' ready to meet the saints


This ol′ house is gettin' shaky
This ol' house is gettin′ old
This ol′ house lets in the rain
This ol' house lets in the cold
On my knees, I′m gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
′Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through the broken windowpane

(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 no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She′s a-gettin' ready to meet the saints (woh)

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 out its arms
This old 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


(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 no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin′ 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 no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She′s a-gettin' 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
