I was bored !!!

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Water
And it's been the ruin of many a poor people
And God knows I'm not one

My mother lives in Taylor (MI)
Looters stole my new bluejeans
My father was a drownin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a refugee needs
Is a suit case and truck to flee
And the only time their satisfied
Is when their on government money

-----organ solo-----

Oh mother tell your children to evacuate and flee
Not to do what others have done
By spending your lives in sin and misery
Living in the House of the Astro Dome

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the rescue basket
I'm leavin' New Orleans
Until the waters recede

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Water
And it's been the ruin for many a poor people
And God I'm glad I'm not one


Here is the orginal lyrics:

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

------ organ solo ------

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

LOL, love it. Great old tune.
