The Saints Are Coming

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the Rising Sun

Andit’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 on the light wind

will the shadows still remain since your descent

your descent

I cried to my daddy on the telephone

How long now

Until the clouds unroll and you come home

The line went

But the shadows still remain since your descent

Your descent

Ho, Cha, Hey

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

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)x3
