This Ole House

I found this huge, abandoned house fifty miles from nowhere on Tierra del Fuego island.  It reminded me of the song from the past that I think Stuart Hamlin used to sing, “This Ole House.”

This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she 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 a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

There are more verses… lots more… look it up on the net; “This ole house lyrics.”
