House Of The Rising Son |
| 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 |
