The House of the Rising Sun (Live)

There is a house in New Orleans
They call "The Rising Sun", yeah
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Me, oh, Lord, I know I'm one, yeah
Know I am, yeah

Mother was a tailor
She sewed my Levi jeans, yeah
My father was a gambling man
Way down, way down in New Orleans, yeah

Louisiana
I hear you calling, baby

I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run, yeah
I'm going back to end my life, oh, Lord
In a house they call "The Rising Sun"
"The Rising Sun", yeah
Take it Marie

Mother, tell your children
"Don't be a fool like me"
Spend your life in a rock 'n' roll band
In a world full of sin and misery, yeah, yeah

Come on, son, let's go, let's go

There is a house in New Orleans
They call "The Rising Sun"
And it's been the ruin of many poor boy
Lord, I know I'm one, yeah
Lord, yeah, yeah

Don't you know? Can't you fear?
Don't you see? Well, oh, man
Oh, yeah
Lord, yeah, Lord, yeah!
