Jimmy Barnes Rising Sun song lyrics

She just jumped on a plane

Paid no attention to me

Gave me no notice

But her goodbyes sure were sweet

Said she's 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

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

Now we're apart

I think about her everyday

Well the scuffle of little feet

All round the bed

I'm gettin' no cards, gettin' no mail

Tokyo Rose is on the radio

If she don't come home

I know that's where I'm gonna go

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 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

Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again

The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
