| [00:07.21] |
There is a house down in New Orleans |
| [00:14.09] |
They call the Rising Sun |
| [00:20.55] |
And many poor boy to distrust she has gone |
| [00:27.69] |
And me, oh God, for one |
| [00:37.16] |
Just fill the glasses up to the brim |
| [00:43.57] |
Let the drinks go merrily around |
| [00:50.65] |
We'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy |
| [00:57.52] |
Who goes from town to town |
| [01:04.34] |
The only thing that a rounder needs |
| [01:11.06] |
Is a suitcase and a trunk |
| [01:17.68] |
And the only time he's satisfied |
| [01:24.95] |
Is when he's on a drunk |
| [01:59.29] |
Now boys, don't believe what a girl tells you |
| [02:05.97] |
Though her eyes be blue or brown |
| [02:12.99] |
Unless she's on some scaffold high |
| [02:19.55] |
Saying, "Boys, I can't come down" |
| [02:26.72] |
I'm going back, back to New Orleans |
| [02:33.40] |
For my race is nearly run |
| [02:40.27] |
Gonna spend the rest of my wicked life |
| [02:47.39] |
Beneath that Rising Sun |
