Pirate It
He walked in
to the Animal’s
rising sun house
in New Orleans.
A lovely old lady
asked him
“What’s your pleasure
sailor?”
He said, “Sorry, Ma’am,
I’m Army
and I’d like
Gasparilla
with a dash of cherry.”
She laughed
and said loudly,
“Sorry soldier.
Not today.
We’re all out
of cherries.”
Look both ways for the good, the bad, and the in between.
Mind the gaps and enjoy the music.
Here is my favorite busker, Allie Sherlock, singing House of the Rising Sun (Original by the Animals in 1964).
There is another excellent cover of this song by the Melodicka Bros. I used that in January of last year (2022).
