New Orleans (The Rising Sun Blues) Lyrics

Way down in New Orleans
House called the Rising Sun
And I′ve been the ruin of many poor boys
And me a guard for one

Way down in New Orleans
House called the Rising Sun
And I've been the ruin of many poor boys
And me a guard for one

I′m gonna tell my baby sister
Please don't do like I have done
Please join that old house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

I'm gonna tell my baby sister
Please don′t do like I have done
Please join that old house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

Go tell her now
Right now
Go ahead and tell her
Uh huh

I′m going back to New Orleans
'Cause my race is almost run
I′m going back to spend the rest of my life
Beneath the Rising Sun

I'm going back to New Orleans
′Cause my race is almost run
I'm going back to spend the rest of my life
Beneath the Rising

Go on back down now
Yeah
Yeah
Go back
Yeah
Yeah
