House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the rising sun

It's been the ruin of many poor girls

And me, oh God I am oneIf you had listened to what your momma said

You'd be at home today

But I was young and foolish, oh Lord

Yeah, yeah, you let a gambler lead you astrayGo tell my baby, my baby sister

I don't do as I, as I have done

But shun that house in New Orleans

They call the rising sunI'm going back to New Orleans

Your race is almost run

I'm going back to lay my head

Beneath that rising sunThere's a house in New Orleans

They call the rising sun

Yeah it's been the ruin of many poor girls

And me, I'm one, oh God

And me, oh God, I am oneYou poor girl, you are one yeah

You poor girl, poor girl
