Lyric House of the Rising Sun

[Version 1]
There is a house in New Orleans,
They call it the Risin Sun
And it s been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh God, I m one.

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call it the Risin Sun
And it s been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh God, I m one.

If I had listened
To what my mother said
I d ve been at home today.
But I was young and foolish, oh God,
Let a rambler lead me astray.

Go tell my baby sister
Don t do what I have done.
Go shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Risin Sun.

Well, I m going back to New Orleans,
My race is almost run.
I m going back to spend my life
In the house of the Risin Sun.
