House of the Rising Sun

[version 1]

There is a house in new orleans,

They call it the risin' sun

And it's been the ruin

Of many poor girl,

And me, oh god, I'm one.There is a house in new orleans,

They call it the risin' sun

And it's been the ruin

Of many poor girl,

And me, oh god, I'm one.If I had listened

To what my mother said

I'd've been at home today.

But I was young and foolish, oh god,

Let a rambler lead me astray.Go tell my baby sister

Don't do what I have done.

Go shun that house in new orleans

They call the risin' sun.
