This Ole House Lyrics - Statler Brothers Live - Sold Out - The Statler Brothers

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 gonna need this house no longer I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints 

Well this ole house once knew my children 

This 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 

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 mend the window panes 

Ain't 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 howl and moan 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 mend the window panes 

Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm gettin' ready to meet the saints
