There is a houseIn New Orleans/You call the Rising Sun/Its been the ruin of many a poor soul/And me, oh god, I'm one
If I'd listened what mama said/I'd be at home today/Being so young and foolish, poor girl/Let a gambler lead me astray My mother she's a tailor/Sews those new blue jeans/My sweetheart he's a drunkard, Lord God/He drinks down in New Orleans He fills his glasses to the brim/Passes them around/The only pleasure that he gets out of life/Is a going from town to town The only thing a drunkard needs/Is a suitcase and a trunk/The only time that he's half satisfied/Is when he's all a drunk Go and tell my baby sister/Never do like I have done/Shun that house down in New Orleans/That they call the Rising Sun Its one foot on the platform/One foot on the train/I'm going back down to New Orleans/To wear my ball and my chain My life is almost over/My race is almost run/Going back down to New Orleans/To that house of the Rising Sun |
