Song title: This Ole' House

 

Theme: The life cycles of an old house

 

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

 

 

When the public asks me for help:

 

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

 

 

Here's where I tell them what they need to do to get the house ready for market:

 

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 gettin' feeble

This old house is needin' paint   (Oh, that's just the beginning)

Just like him it's tuckered out

But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

CHORUS

 

This ole house dog lies a-sleepin'

He don't know I'm gonna leave

Else he'd wake up by the fireplace

And he'd sit there and howl and grieve  (But that hound will be happier in a new townhouse!)
