Been to the house of the rising sun
Come down here trying to make a connection
Must have a bad sense of direction
[Chorus:]
Go back go back to your woods
Go back go back go back to your woods
Carry a torch and an old stiletto
The sound of thunder all over the ghetto
One-eyed jacks and king with the axe
Come from the wrong side of the tracks
[Chorus]
When the night goes down on Storyville
If the women don't get ya, the music will
Catch a thrill
You come down here in a four piece suit
Pork pie hat and the alligator boots
Keep jerking rabbits outta your hat
Now can ya pull a disappearing act
[Chorus]
When the night goes down on Storyville
If the women don't get ya, the music will
Catch a thrill
Go back go back to your woods...
