house of the rising sun - joan baez & dirk powell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there is a house in new orleans
they call the rising sun
and it’s been the ruin for many a*poor boy
and me, great god, i’m one

[verse 2]
if i had listened to my mama
i’d be at home today
but i was young and foolish, oh god
i let a gambler lead me astray

[verse 3]
the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he’s satisfied
is when he’s all a*drunk

[verse 4]
go tell my baby sister
“don’t do what i have done”
but shun that house in sin and misery
they call the rising sun

[verse 5]
and i’m going back to new orleans
my race is nearly run
i’m goin’ back to spend my life
in the house of the rising sun
