This Ole House Video (MV)

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 a shout.
Now she trembles in the darkness
When lightning 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 got time to fix the floor.
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Or to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. (The saints)

This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms.
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms.
This ole house is gettin' feeble
This ole house is needin' some paint.
Just like me it's all 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
Or to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. (The saints)

Now 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.
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly,
But I feel no fear nor pain.
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through 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 got time)
Ain't got time to fix the floor. (Ain't got time)
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Or to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. (Meet the saints)

My ole hound dog lies a-sleepin' (Oh)
He don't know I'm gonna leave, (Mhm)
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
And just sit there and howl and grieve. (Ooh)
But my huntin' days are over, (Oh they're over)
I ain't going huntin' any more.
Gabriel done brought in my chariot (Ooh)
When the wind blew down the door.

No I ain't 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
Or to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints.

No I ain't 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
Or to mend the window panes.
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints. (Meet the saints)
