Lyrics

[00:20.73] There is a house in New Orleans ,
[00:28.32] They call the Rising Sun.
[00:36.43] And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy,
[00:44.17] And me, Great God, I'm one.
[00:56.56] If I had listened to what my Momma said,
[01:03.86] I'd have been at home today,
[01:11.16] But I was young and foolish, Oh God,
[01:18.86] Let a rambler lead me astray.
[01:30.80] Now the only thing a gambler needs is
[01:38.11] A suitcase and a trunk.
[01:46.02] And the only time he'll be satisfied
[01:53.32] Is when he's on a drunk.
[02:40.29] Go tell my baby sister
[02:47.79] Don't you do what I have done
[02:55.50] Shun that house in New Orleans
[03:03.20] They call the Risin' Sun
[03:15.60] I'm going back to New Orleans ,
[03:22.90] My race is nearly run,
[03:30.61] I'm going back to spend my life
[03:39.13] In the house of the Rising Sun
