Marianne Faithfull - House Of The Rising Sun

There is a house in new orleans
They call it the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm one

There is a house in new orleans
They call it the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm one

If I had listened

To what my mother said
I'd've been at home today
But I was young and foolish, oh god
Let a rambler lead me astray

Go tell my baby sister
Don't do what I have done
Go shun that house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun

Well, I'm going back to new orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to spend my life
In the house of the risin' sun
There is a house in new orleans
They call it the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm one

There is a house in new orleans
They call it the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm one

If I had listened

To what my mother said
I'd've been at home today
But I was young and foolish, oh god
Let a rambler lead me astray

Go tell my baby sister
Don't do what I have done
Go shun that house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun

Well, I'm going back to new orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to spend my life
In the house of the risin' sun
