The House of the Rising Sun

Lyrics

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
