NINA SIMONE - House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

rate me

Traditional<br><br>There is a house in new orleans<br>Call it the rising sun<br>And it's been the ruin<br>Of many a poor girl<br>And me, oh lord, I'm one<br><br>If I'd listened what my mama said<br>Be at home today<br>Bein' so young<br>And foolish, my lord<br>Let a gambler lead me astray<br><br>My mother was a tailor<br>Sews new blue jeans<br>My sweetheart's is a drunkarad, lord<br>Drinks down in new orleans<br><br>Go tell my baby sister<br>Never do what I have done<br>Shun that house in new orleans<br>They call it the rising sun<br><br>Goin' back to new orleans<br>Race is almost run<br>Goin' back to spend my life<br>Beneath, beneath, beneath, oh lord<br>Beneath, oh now<br>Beneath the rising, rising sun<br>Now, now<br><br>You come on bye
