[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
