Remembering A Clooney Melody

This photo of an old homestead near Binger & Eakley, Oklahoma was sent to "The OkieLegacy" by one of our readers with a catchy little melody sung by Rosemary Clooney.

This NW Okie remembers Clooney, but remembers the song she sang better... "This Ole House."

That brings up the next question. What kind of legacy do you suppose this old Oklahoma homestead, along highway 152 experienced in it's day? Is it still there, or ... "Getting ready to meet the saints!"

Remember the rest of the words to this old favorite song sung by Rosemary Clooney? Here is the chorus to get you started:

"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 windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints"
