about

This is Lord Fleming's rendition of an American classic folk song.

lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun.
It’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And me, O God, for one.

If I had listened what Mama said,
I’d be at home today.
Being so young and foolish,
Poor boy, let a rambler
Lead me astray.

Go tell my baby sister
Never do like I have done
To shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun.

My mother she’s a tailor,
She sewed these new blue jeans.
My sweetheart, she’s a drunken whore,
Drinks down in New Orleans.

The only thing a drunkard needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
The only time she’s satisfied
Is when she’s on a drunk.

Fills her glasses to the brim
Passes them around.
Only pleasure she gets out of life
Is hoboin’ from town to town.

One foot is on the platform
And the other one on the train.
I’m going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.

Going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run.
Going back to spend the rest of my days
Beneath that Rising Sun.
