House of the Rising Sun |
There is a house in New Orleans |
Call it the Rising Sun |
And it’s been the ruin |
Of many a poor girl |
And me, oh Lord, I’m one |
If I’d listened what my mama said |
Be at home today |
Bein' so young |
And foolish, my Lord |
Let a gambler lead me astray |
My mother was a tailor |
Sews new blue jeans |
My sweetheart’s is a drunkarad, Lord |
Drinks down in New Orleans |
Go tell my baby sister |
Never do what I have done |
Shun that house in New Orleans |
They call it the Rising Sun |
Goin' back to New Orleans |
Race is almost run |
Goin' back to spend my life |
Beneath, beneath, beneath, oh Lord |
Beneath, oh now |
Beneath the rising, rising sun |
Now, now |
You come on bye |
