Lyrics The Ole House - Alma Cogan
This
ole
house
once
knew
his
children
This
ole
house
once
knew
his
wife
This
ole
house
was
home
and
comfort
As
they
fought
the
storms
of
life
This
old
house
once
rang
with
laughter
This
old
house
heard
many
shouts
Now
he
trembles
in
the
darkness
When
the
lightnin'
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
Nor
to
mend
the
window-pane
Ain't
a-gonna
need
this
house
no
longer
He's
a-gettin'
ready
to
meet
his
fate
This
ole
house
is
a-gettin'
shaky
This
ole
house
is
a-gettin'
old
This
ole
house
lets
in
the
rain
This
ole
house
lets
in
the
cold
Oh
his
knees
are-a
gettin'
chilly
But
he
feel
no
fear
or
pain
'Cause
he
sees
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
to
fix
the
floor
Ain't
got
time
to
oil
the
hinges
Nor
to
mend
the
window-pane
Ain't
a-gonna
need
this
house
no
longer
He's
a-gettin'
ready
to
meet
his
fate
This
ole
house
is
a-gettin'
shaky
This
ole
house
is
a-gettin'
old
This
ole
house
lets
in
the
rain
This
ole
house
lets
in
the
cold
Oh
his
knees
are-a
gettin'
chilly
But
he
feel
no
fear
or
pain
'Cause
he
sees
an
angel
peekin'
Through
a
broken
window-pane
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
a-gettin'
feeble
This
old
house
is
a-needin'
paint
Just
like
him
it's
tuckered
out
But
he's
a-gettin'
ready
to
meet
his
fate
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
Nor
to
mend
the
window-pane
Ain't
a-gonna
need
this
house
no
longer
He's
a-gettin'
ready
to
meet
his
fate
This
ole
house
is
a-gettin'
shaky
This
ole
house
is
a-gettin'
old
This
ole
house
lets
in
the
rain
This
ole
house
lets
in
the
cold
Oh
his
knees
are-a
gettin'
chilly
But
he
feel
no
fear
or
pain
'Cause
he
sees
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

Ain't

Ain't

Ain't

Ain't
