[00:03.60]There is a house in New Orleans,
[00:09.51]You call the "Rising Sun",
[00:15.30]It's been the ruin of many a poor soul
[00:20.98]and me,Oh,God, I'm one.
[00:25.29]
[00:26.85]If I'd listened to what mama said,
[00:32.37]I'd be at home today
[00:38.13]Being so young and foolish, poor girl
[00:43.10]I let a gambler lead me astray
[00:47.52]
[00:48.71]My mother she's a tailor,
[00:54.13]Sews those new blue jeans
[00:59.50]My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, Lord God
[01:04.71]He drinks down in New Orleans.
[01:09.33]
[01:10.21]He fills his glasses to the brim,
[01:15.63]Passes them around.
[01:20.87]The only pleasure that he gets out of life
[01:26.10]Is a hobo from town to town.
[01:30.01]
[01:30.83]The only thing a drunkard needs
[01:36.57]Is a suitcase and a trunk.
[01:42.04]The only time that he's half satisfied
[01:46.93]Is when he's on a drunk.
[01:50.49]
[01:53.14]Go and tell my baby sister
[01:58.23]Never do like I have done.
[02:03.90]Shun that house down in New Orleans
[02:08.92]That they call that Rising Sun.
[02:12.65]
[02:14.32]It's one foot on the platform,
[02:19.16]One foot on the train.
[02:24.60]I'm going back down to New Orleans
[02:29.40]To wear my ball and my chain.
[02:32.68]
[02:34.92]My life is almost over,
[02:40.02]My race is almost run.
[02:44.91]Going back down to New Orleans
[02:49.68]To that house of the Rising Sun
