The Saints Are Coming Lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans,
they call the Rising Sun,
It's been the ruin of many young poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.

Verse 1
cried to my daddy on the telephone,
how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come down,
the line...

    This is a cover of a Skids song from 1978..definitely not written for Hurricane Katrina...although it is an appropriate cover to do in New Orleans at the time

    This song was done with U2 for support of Hurricane Katrina victims. It essentially sends the message that help is on the way to New Orleans. Saints could also be a reference to the New Orleans Saints, but that is not confirmed.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
