The Saints Are Coming

THE SAINTS ARE COMING

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun

It's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know i'm one

Verse 1

I cried to my daddy on the telephone

how long now?

Until the clouds unroll and you come down

the line went

But the shadows still remain since your descent

your descent

Verse 2

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

Chorus 1

The saints are coming the saints are coming

I say no matter how I try I realise there's no reply

The saints are coming the saints are coming

I say no matter how I try I realise there's no reply

Verse 3

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief

how long now?

Until the weather change condemns belief

how long now?

When the night watchman lets in the thief

Whats wrong now?

Chorus 2

The saints are coming the saints are coming

I say no matter how I try I realise there's no reply

The saints are coming the saints are coming

I say no matter how I try I realise there's no reply

I say no matter how I try I realise there's no reply

I say no matter how I try I realise there's no reply
