Evereve - House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the 'Rising Sun'

It's been the ruin of many a poor girl

And me, I know, I'm one

My mother is a tailor

She sews those new blue jeans

My husband, he's a gambling man

Drinks down in New Orleans

My husband is a gambler

He goes from town to town

The only time he's satisfied

Is when he drinks his liquor down

His liquor down

Go tell my baby sister

Never do like I have done

Shun that house in New Orleans

They call the 'Rising Sun'

One foot's on the platform

The other's on the train

I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

That ball and chain

Going back to New Orleans

My race is almost run

I'm going to spend the rest of my life beneath

Beneath that Rising Sun

Beneath that Rising Sun

That Rising Sun
