Verse 1
This ole C house once knew my children, this ole F house once knew my wife.
This ole G7 house was home and comfort as we C fought the storms of life.
This old C house once rang with laughter, this old F house heard many shouts,
Now she G7 trembles in the darkness when the lightnin' walks aCbout.
Chorus
Ain't a-gonna F need this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna C need this house no more.
Ain't got G7 time to fix the shingles, ain't got C time to fix the C7 floor,
Ain't got F time to oil the hinges nor to C mend the window Am pane.
Ain't gonna G7 need this house no longer,
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the C saints.
Verse 2
This ole C house is a-gettin' shaky, this ole F house is a-gettin' old.
This ole G7 house lets in the rain, this ole C house lets in the cold.
Oh, my C knees are a-gettin' shaky, but I F feel no fear nor pain,
'Cause I G7 see an angel peekin' through a broken window C pane.
Chorus
Ain't a-gonna F need this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna C need this house no more.
Ain't got G7 time to fix the shingles, ain't got C time to fix the C7 floor,
Ain't got F time to oil the hinges nor to C mend the window Am pane.
Ain't gonna G7 need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the C saints.
Verse 3
This ole C house is afraid of thunder,this ole F house is afraid of storms.
This ole G7 house just groans and trembles, when the C night wind flings its arms.
This ole C house is gettin' feeble, this old F house is needin' paint.
Just like G7 him it's tuckered out, but he's a-gettin' ready to meet his C saint.
Chorus
Ain't a-gonna F need this house no longer,
Ain't a-gonna C need this house no more.
Ain't got G7 time to fix the shingles, ain't got C time to fix the C7 floor,
Ain't got F time to oil the hinges nor to C mend the window Am pane.
Ain't gonna G7 need this house no longer
I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the C saints. C
