| [00:08.03] |
There is a house down in New Orleans |
| [00:15.19] |
They call the Rising Sun |
| [00:22.98] |
And it's been the ruin of a many poor boy |
| [00:30.22] |
And me, oh God, for one |
| [00:38.23] |
Then fill the glasses to the brim |
| [00:45.96] |
Let the drinks go merrily around |
| [00:53.43] |
And we'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy |
| [01:01.35] |
Who goes from town to town |
| [01:09.48] |
The only thing that a rounder needs |
| [01:16.81] |
Is a suitcase and a trunk |
| [01:24.18] |
And the only time he's satisfied |
| [01:32.16] |
Is when he's on a drunk |
| [02:10.10] |
Now boys, don't believe what a girl tells you |
| [02:17.43] |
Though her eyes be blue or brown |
| [02:25.01] |
Unless she's on some scaffold high |
| [02:32.83] |
Saying, "Boys, I can't come down" |
| [02:40.65] |
Go tell my youngest brother |
| [02:48.08] |
Not to do the things I've done |
| [02:55.80] |
But to shun that house down in New Orleans |
| [03:04.07] |
They call the Rising Sun |
| [03:41.13] |
I'm going back, back to New Orleans |
| [03:48.55] |
For my race is nearly run |
| [03:56.03] |
Gonna spend the rest of my wicked life |
| [04:04.21] |
Beneath that Rising Sun |
