The House of the Rising Sun / Amazing Grace (2006 Live Version) Lyrics by David Carradine

2006

There was a house in New Orlean'
They used to call it The Rising Sun
Well it, it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And me, oh God, I was one
[Instrumental]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Well, I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
My mama, she was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orlean'
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he will be satisfied
Is when he's all a-drunk
[Instrumental]
Well, when we'vе been here ten thousand yеars
Bright shining as the Sun
We'll no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
[(Fast time)?]
Well, I've one foot on the platform here
And another on the train
An' I'm goin' back to spend my days
Wearing that ball and chain
An' I'm goin' back to New Orlean'
My [waste?] is almost done
An' I'm goin' back spend my days
[?]
[Instrumental]
Well, go tell, my baby [?]
Not to do what I have done
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Well, I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
There was a house in New Orlean'
They called it The Rising Sun
Well, it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And me, oh God, I was one
[Applause]
