carolyn hester - the house of the rising sun lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there is a house down in new orleans
they call the risin’ sun
it has been the ruin of many a poor girl
and me, oh lordy, i was one

[verse 2]
my good mother she’s a tailor
she sews the new blue jeans
my sweetheart, he’s a drunkard, lord
drinks down in new orleans

[verse 3]
if i hadn’t done what my mother said
i’d be at home today
but me bein’ young and foolish, poor girl
let a gamblin’ man lead me astray

[verse 4]
gonna tell my baby sister
not to do just like i’d done
to shun that house down in new orleans
they call the risin’ sun

[verse 5]
well, i’m goin’ on back down to new orleans
my race is almost run
goin’ back to spend the rest, the rest of my days
beneath that risin’ sun
[outro]
lordy, mama
beneath the rising sun
