House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics - At The Village Gate - Nina Simone

Traditional 

There is a house in New Orleans 

Call it the Rising Sun 

And it's been the ruin 

Of many a poor girl 

And me, oh Lord, I'm one 

If I'd listened what my mama said 

Be at home today 

Bein' so young 

And foolish, my Lord 

Let a gambler lead me astray

My mother was a tailor 

Sews new blue jeans 

My sweetheart's is a drunkarad, Lord 

Drinks down in New Orleans 

Go tell my baby sister 

Never do what I have done 

Shun that house in New Orleans 

They call it the Rising Sun

Goin' back to New Orleans 

Race is almost run 

Goin' back to spend my life 

Beneath, beneath, beneath, oh Lord 

Beneath, oh now 

Beneath the rising, rising sun 

Now, now 

You come on bye
