THE NEW NEW ORLEANS WALTZ 121411 - SUNDAY AFTERNOON

James Michael Taylor

This is my Katrina song.
THE NEW NEW ORLEANS WALTZ

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It’s been the ruin of many a boy
And Lord knows I am one
Storms may come and storms may go
But the sun will always shine
Unless you’re busy digging your grave
Down in some lonesome mine
Time may come and Time may go
But Time’s always on Time
Until Time runs out much to your surprise
You might think you’ve found a home
This side of Paradise
And trust the things that keep you safe
As the waters rise
You pack it up and say your last goodbyes
Then the sun comes up
And cuts you down to size
Well coming down to New Orleans
My mama sowed my jeans
My papa was a gambling man
Made a fortune and lost it again
I had uncle and his name was Sue
And a cousin name was Linda Lu
Linda had a sister too
What’s a boy to do
