Lyrics for Rising Sun
She just jumped on a plane and paid no attention to me Gave me no notice but her goodbyes sure were sweet Said she gonna write, maybe call me up She checked her bags and then she broke my heart She kissed my cheek and told me not to keep in touch The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away Now we're apart, I think about her everyday With the scuffle of little feet, all round the bed I'm gettin' no cards, we're gettin' no mail The girl came on the telephone If she don't come home I know that's just where I'm gonna go The Rising Sun just stole my girl away Said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away They're buying our beaches, sellin' transistors Them little folk look real big If they think that they can take her away I'm gonna steal her right back again . . . Shake! I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away Well, the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
