| The driving rain hit five o’clock in the morning
|
| The streets were clear the storm
|
| Came in without warning
|
| She’s on a ship of amber on the black water
|
| She’s coming home she’s going to get
|
| What she’s after now
|
| Swing down low
|
| Swing down low
|
| Light a candle for the whore of New Orleans
|
| Rising high to touch the souls long departed
|
| On resolution now the end’s finally started
|
| We’d better hurry don’t impale me with worry now
|
| Oh, oh
|
| I dreamt I met the Pharisees
|
| In a wooden house on broken beams
|
| On a mudslide down a hill
|
| Holding on to broken will
|
| They tied my Lord to the whipping post
|
| Please don’t take him away
|
| They tied my Lord to the whipping post
|
| Please don’t take him away
|
| Don’t take him away, don’t take him away
|
| Don’t take him away, don’t take him away
|
| He got no place to go, he got no place to go
|
| He got no place to go, he got no place to go
|
| I lost my home in the wicked flood
|
| Please don’t send me away
|
| I lost my home in the wicked flood
|
| Please don’t send me away
|
| Don’t send me away, don’t send me away
|
| Don’t send me away, don’t send me away
|
| I’ve got no place to go, I’ve got no place to go
|
| I’ve got no place to go, he got no place to go
|
| I’ve got no place to go, I’ve got no place to go
|
| I’ve got no place to go, he got no place to go
|
| No no |
