This ole house
once knew his children
This ole house
once knew his wife
This ole house was home
and comfort as we fought
the stony life
This ole house once
rang with laughter
This ole house
heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the
darkness when the
lightning 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 no window pane
Ain't gonna need
this house no longer
She's gettin' ready
to meet the Saint
This ole house
is gettin' shaky
This ole house
is gettin' old
This ole house
lets in the rain
This ole house
lets in the cold
Oh his knees
are gettin' chilly
But his feet
don't feel no pain
'Cos he sees an angel peakin'
through that broken
window pane
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 window pane
Ain't gonna need
this house no longer
She's gettin' ready
to meet the Saint
This ole house
is afraid of thunder
This ole house
is afraid of storms
This ole house
just throws a tremble when
the night stretches
out it's arms
This ole house
is gettin' feeble
This ole house
is in need of paint
Just like me it's starting
to rumble gettin' ready
to meet the Saint
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 window pane
Ain't gonna need
this house no longer
She's gettin' ready
to meet the Saint.....
