[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 |
