[00:07.39] There is a house down in New Orleans
[00:14.28] They call the Rising Sun
[00:20.94] And many poor boy to distrut she has gone
[00:27.71] And me, oh God, for one
[00:37.19] Just fill the glasses to the brim
[00:43.40] Let the drinks go merrily around
[00:50.03] And we'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy
[00:56.99] Who goes from town to town
[01:04.43] The only thing that a rounder needs
[01:10.79] Is a suitcase and a trunk
[01:17.64] And the only time he's satisfied
[01:24.55] Is when he's on a drunk
[01:58.58] Now boys, don't believe what a girl tells you
[02:05.65] Though her eyes be blue or brown
[02:12.71] Unless she's on some scaffold high
[02:19.63] Saying, "Boys, I can't come down"
[02:26.76] I'm going back, back to New Orleans
[02:33.61] For my race is nearly run
[02:40.44] Gonna spend the rest of my wicked life
[02:47.32] Beneath that Rising Sun
