House of the Rising Sun

Текст песни Joan Baez - House of the Rising Sun

[Verse]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin for many poor girl
And me, oh God, for one

[Verse]
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]
Go tell my baby sister
"Don't do what I have done"
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

[Verse]
I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to spend my life
Beneath that Rising Sun
