The House of the Rising Sun



Traditional - The House of the Rising Sun - текст песни (слова)

There is a house in New Orleans 
 They call the Rising Sun. 
 It's been the ruin of many a poor girl, 
 And me, O God, was one. 
 If I had listened what Mamma said, 
 I had been at home today. 
 But being a young and foolish poor girl, 
 A gambler lead me astray. 
 My mother is a tailor; 
 She sews those new blue jeans. 
 My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, 
 Lord, lives down in New Orleans. 
 The only thing a drunkard needs 
 Is a suitcase and a trunk 
 And the only time he's satisfied 
 Is when he's on a drunk. 
 He'll fills his glasses to the brim, 
 He passes them around 
 And the only pleasure he gets out of life 
 Is bumming from town to town. 
 Go tell my baby sister 
 Never do like I have done 
 To shun that house in New Orleans 
 They call the Rising Sun. 
 It's one foot on the platform 
 And the other one on the train. 
 I'm going back to New Orleans 
 To wear that ball and chain. 
 I'm going back to New Orleans, 
 My race is almost run. 
 I'm going back to spend my life 
 Beneath that Rising Sun.
