PETER, PAUL & MARY - House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

rate me

There is a house in new orleans<br>They call the rising sun<br>It's been the ruin of many poor girls<br>And me, oh god, am one<br><br>If you had listened to what your momma said<br>You'd be at home today<br>But I was young and foolish, oh lord<br>You let a gambler lead you astray<br><br>Go tell my baby sister<br>Don't do as I have done<br>But shun that house in new orleans<br>They call the rising sun<br><br>I'm going back to new orleans<br>Your race is almost run<br>I'm going back to lay my head<br>Beneath that rising sun<br><br>There is a house in new orleans<br>They call the rising sun<br>It's been the ruin of many poor girls<br>And me, I'm one, oh god<br>And me, oh god, am one<br><br>You poor girl, you are one
