[00:03.60] There is a house in New Orleans,
[00:09.51] You call the "Rising Sun",
[00:15.30] It's been the ruin of many a poor soul
[00:20.98] and me,Oh,God, I'm one.
[00:25.29]
[00:26.85] If I'd listened to what mama said,
[00:32.37] I'd be at home today
[00:38.13] Being so young and foolish, poor girl
[00:43.10] I let a gambler lead me astray
[00:47.52]
[00:48.71] My mother she's a tailor,
[00:54.13] Sews those new blue jeans
[00:59.50] My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, Lord God
[01:04.71] He drinks down in New Orleans.
[01:09.33]
[01:10.21] He fills his glasses to the brim,
[01:15.63] Passes them around.
[01:20.87] The only pleasure that he gets out of life
[01:26.10] Is a hobo from town to town.
[01:30.01]
[01:30.83] The only thing a drunkard needs
[01:36.57] Is a suitcase and a trunk.
[01:42.04] The only time that he's half satisfied
[01:46.93] Is when he's on a drunk.
[01:50.49]
[01:53.14] Go and tell my baby sister
[01:58.23] Never do like I have done.
[02:03.90] Shun that house down in New Orleans
[02:08.92] That they call that Rising Sun.
[02:12.65]
[02:14.32] It's one foot on the platform,
[02:19.16] One foot on the train.
[02:24.60] I'm going back down to New Orleans
[02:29.40] To wear my ball and my chain.
[02:32.68]
[02:34.92] My life is almost over,
[02:40.02] My race is almost run.
[02:44.91] Going back down to New Orleans
[02:49.68] To that house of the Rising Sun
[00:03.60] There is a house in New Orleans,
[00:09.51] You call the " Rising Sun",
[00:15.30] It' s been the ruin of many a poor soul
[00:20.98] and me, Oh, God, I' m one.
