[00:00.41] We're going to do a folk song,
[00:05.47] Called "The House of the Rising Sun"
[00:09.22]
[00:29.39] There is a house in New Orleans
[00:37.28] They call it the Rising Sun
[00:46.24] And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
[00:54.47] And me, oh God, I'm one
[01:03.28] If I had only listened of what my mama said
[01:11.88] I'd be at home today
[01:19.75] But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord
[01:29.14] Let a gambler lead me astray
[01:37.70] Now, my mother is a tailor
[01:46.52] She sews new blue jeans
[01:53.28] And my sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord
[02:02.02] Drinks down in New Orleans
[02:11.11] Now the only thing a drunken man needs
[02:19.34] Is a suitcase and a trunk
[02:28.81] And the only time he's satisfied
[02:35.93] Lord, is when he's on the drunk
[02:44.56] Somebody go get my baby sister
[02:52.95] Tell her to do never to do what I have done
[03:01.46] But shun that house in New Orleans
[03:09.45] They call it the Rising Sun
[03:18.25] Well I'm goin' back to New Orleans
[03:26.52] My race is almost won
[03:32.70] Yes I'm goin' back to spend my life
[03:48.90] Beneath, the rising sun
[04:36.31]
