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
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
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
Boom ... 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 the weather change condemns belief, how long now
When the night watchman let's in the thief, what's wrong now
Boom ... 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
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
