There is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
And it's been a house to many a poor boy
and
God, I know I'm one
I cried to my Daddy on the telephone
How
long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you
come down the light wind
will the shaddows still remain
since your descent
your descent (repeats)
Ho, Cha, Hey
Chorus :
The saints are coming
The saints are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply!
The saints are coming
The saints
are coming
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply!
A
drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
How long now?
Until a weather change condemns belief
How
long now?
When the night watchman is in the fleet
What's wrong now?
Ho,
Cha, Hey
Chorus
I say no matter how I try
I realize there's no reply (3 times)
