Joan Baez House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

VAROL
There is a house in New Orleans,
they call it the rising sun.
And it's a-been the ruin of many poor girl, and me, oh God, for one.
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.
Go tell, my baby sister don't do what I have done,
but shun that house in New Orleans,
they call the rising sun,
I'm going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run,
I'm going back to spend my life beneath that rising sun.

(The Animals)
