house of the rising sun - bennettsoddy lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
there is a house in new orleans
they call it the rising sun
and it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl
and me, oh god, i’m one

[verse 1]
now, my mother is a tailor
she sews those new blue jeans
and my father was a drunkard, lord
drunk down in new orleans

[verse 2]
now the only thing a drunken man needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he’s satisfied
lord, is when he’s drunk

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
someone go get my little sisters
tell them not to do what i’ve done
but to shun that house in new orleans
they call the rising sun
[verse 4]
if i had only listened to my ma
i’d be at home today
bein’ young and foolish, my lord
i let a gambler lead me astray

[outro]
i’m goin’ back to new orleans
my race is almost run
yes, i’m goin’ back to spend my life
beneath the rising sun
