But I feel no fear or pain
But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
When the night wind flings its arms
I ain't got time to oil the hinges
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
When the lightning walks about
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house just groans and trembles
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
This ole house lets in the rain
I ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't got time to fix the floor
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
I ain't got time to oil the hinges
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Nor to mend the window panes
This ole house was home and comfort
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house is gettin' old
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
On my knees I'm gettin' shaky
Now she trembles in the darkness
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
As we lived through storm and strife
Ain't got time to fix the floor
This ole house heard many shouts
This ole house is afraid of thunder
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
This old house is needin' paint
This ole house lets in the cold
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Nor to mend the window panes
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Nor to mend the window panes
This ole house is gettin' shaky
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't got time to fix the floor
This ole house is gettin' feeble
Just like me it's tuckered out
Through a broken window pane
