House of the Rising Sun Lyrics

(Intro)
(Verse 1)
There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl,
And me, oh God, for one.
(Verse 2)
If I had listened to what my mother said,
I'd have been at home today,
But I was young and foolish, oh, God,
Let a rambler lead me astray.
(Verse 3)
Go tell my baby sister,
Don't do what I have done,
But shun the house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun.
(Verse 4)
I'm going back to New Orleans,
My race is almost run,
I'm going back to spend my life
Beneath that Rising Sun.
