Song

2007.11.05
Little boy from New Orleans...

Old man from New Orleans...

"Greater New Orleans Bridge" and the Mississipi river.

It's not my favorite song, but it's a powerful one...it just keeps digging into you...

There is a house in New Orleans
Its called the Rising Sun (Superdome)
its been the ruin of a maniac poor boy
and god, i know im one

repeat x2
I cried to my daddy on the telephone
how long now?Until the clouds unroll
and you come down
the line went.
But the shadow still remains since your descent,
your descent.
lo-cha-hey

Chorus 1
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.

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,
what's wrong now?
lo-cha-hey

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 realize there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
