House of the Risking Sun |
There is a house in New Orleans |
They call the Rising Sun |
It’s been the ruin of many poor girl |
And I’m only one |
If I had listened what my mama said |
I’d been at home today |
But being young and foolish |
Let a gambler lead me astray |
My mother, she’s a tailor |
Sold those new blue jeans |
My sweetheart, he’s a drunkard |
Drinks way down in New Orleans |
Go tell my baby sister |
Never do like I have done |
To shun the house in New Orleans |
They call the Rising Sun |
One foot is on the platform |
And the other one on this train |
I’m going back to New Orleans |
Can’t get rid of my ball and chain |
I’m going back to New Orleans |
My race is almost run |
I’m going back to spend my life |
'Neath the house of the rising sun |
There is a house in New Orleans |
