| Lyrics: | [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.
Well, I'm going back to New Orleans,
My race is almost run.
I'm
going back to spend my life
In the house of the Risin' Sun. |
