From the recording TAKE A GOOD LOOK
Lyrics
THE RISING SUN<br />
<br />
There is no house in New Orleans<br />
There is no rising sun<br />
Hurricane ruined this easy scene<br />
Oh, Lord, see what she’s done<br />
<br />
Oh, Mother, grab hold of your child<br />
Can’t ride, gonna have to run<br />
Mother Nature is running wild<br />
Gave each wild man a gun<br />
<br />
Oh, Father, guard your family<br />
You can’t trust anyone<br />
Fight later, now it’s time to flee<br />
Brighter days are yet to come<br />
<br />
There’ll be a house in New Orleans<br />
There’ll be a rising sun<br />
Proud people always find the means<br />
To do what must be done<br />
<br />
There’ll be a house in New Orleans<br />
There’ll be a rising sun<br />
The job is big, it’s not easy<br />
To undo what’s been done<br />
<br />
There’ll be a house in New Orleans<br />
Remember nine eleven<br />
Turn from the mud and misery<br />
And see the rising sun<br />
And see the rising sun<br />
<br />
(Turn toward the risen Son)<br />
<br />
