This Ole House
- Gespielt/gesungen von Shakin' Stevens
This ole house once knew its children
This ole house once knew its wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightning walks about
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't 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 pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house has seen the rain
This ole house has seen the cold
Oh my knees are gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear or pain
'Cause I see an angel peepin'
Through a broken window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't 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 pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's getting ready to meet the saints
This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house has seen the rain
This ole house has seen the cold
Oh my knees are gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear or pain
'Cause I see an angel peepin'
Through a broken window pane
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
Ain't 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 pain
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
She's getting ready to meet the saints
