House Of The Rising Sun (Version One)

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call it the Risin Sun
And its been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh God, Im one.
There is a house in New Orleans,
They call it the Risin Sun
And its been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh God, Im one.
If I had listened
To what my mother said
Idve been at home today.
But I was young and foolish, oh God,
Let a rambler lead me astray.
Go tell my baby sister
Dont do what I have done.
Go shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Risin Sun.
Well, Im going back to New Orleans,
My race is almost run.
Im going back to spend my life
In the house of the Risin Sun.
