There is a house down in Mosselbay Where broken dreams are made And many a soul has wandered in And many have been betrayed My mother told me long ago Son, don’t you lose your way Stay clear of streets where shadows fall And night turns into day Oh rising sun, don’t shine on me I’ve walked a troubled line Through smoky rooms and neon lights I left the truth behind Now I’m bound for that old city road With nothing left to claim If I had listened long ago I might have stayed the same
