There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And its been the ruin of many a poor boy
And me oh god im one.
I'm going to tell my baby sister
Please don't do like i have done
Please shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising sun.
I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost won
I'm going back to spend the rest of my life
Beneath the rising sun.
