House of the Rising Sun

Lyrics

[Chorus] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun [Verse 1] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl Oh God, I know I'm one [Verse 2] If I had listened to what my Mama say Why I'd be there home today But I was young and foolish and poor Led a gambling man lead me on astray [Chorus] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun [Verse 3] My mother she's a tailor And she sews those new blue jeans My sweetheart is a drunken, oh Lord Hе drinks down in New Orleans [Verse 4] Go and tell my baby's sistеr Don't you do, don't you do what your sister has done Stay away from that house in New Orleans They call the Rising Run [Chorus] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun [Verse 5] Well, I've got one foot on the platform Got the other foot on a train I'm going back to New Orleans Gonna wear that ball and chain [Verse 6] I'm going back to New Orleans My race is almost run I'm going back to spend my life Beneath the Rising Sun [Outro] There is a house in New Orleans (Goin' back) They call the Rising Sun (Goin' back) There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun (Yeah I'm going back down way down there) (I'm gonna wear that ball and chain)
