There is a house in new orleans
They call the rising sun

Its been the ruin of many poor girls

And me, oh god, am one

If you had listened to what your momma said

Youd be at home today

But I was young and foolish, lordoh

You let a gambler lead you astray

Go tell my baby   my baby sister

Dont do  as I  as I have done

But shun that house in new orleans

They call the rising sun

Im going back to new orleans

Your race is almost run

Im going back to lay my head

Beneath that rising sun

is There a house in new orleans

They call the rising sun

Its been the ruin of many poor girls

And me, Im one, oh god

And me, oh god, am one

You poor girl, you are one
