:-O !!!  You must've been talking to Sis. Gayla about this
song.....  It's an oldie, but a goodie!  Here goes, normally sung
by someone with a deep, deep, voice.... mines only kinda deep (when
necessary - usually 2nd tenor - low baritone)... oh well...

This ol' house once knew my children
This ol' house once knew my wife
This ol' house was a home and comfort
as we fought the storms of life
This ol' house once rang with laughter
This ol' house heard many a shout 
And it trembles in the darkeness 
when the lightning walks about

Chorus
I ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I ain't a gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the window
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
And mend the window pane
I ain't a gonna need this house no longer
I'm getting ready to meet the saints

This ol' house is a gettin' shakey
This ol' house is a gettin' old
This ol' house let's in the rain
This ol' house let's in the cold
On my knees I'm a getting chilly
 for I feel no fear or pain
Cuz I see an angel peeking through 
 a broken window pane

SING CHORUS

Now my old hounddog lies a sleeping
He don't know I'm gonna leave
Else he'd wake up by the fireplace
and he sit there howl, and grieve
But my huntin' days are over
I ain't a gonna hunt no coon no more
Gabriel done brought in the chariot
when the wind blew down the door

SING CHORUS

.. when the saint's go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in 
Oh How I want to be in that number 
when the saints go marching in
when the saints go marching in
oh when the saints go marching in
Oh how I want to be in that number
when the saints go marching in...

REPEAT CHORUS LAST TIME

Bro. Tyler
