[00:00.41]We're going to do a folk song, [00:05.47]Called "The House of the Rising Sun" [00:09.22] [00:29.39]There is a house in New Orleans [00:37.28]They call it the Rising Sun [00:46.24]And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl [00:54.47]And me, oh God, I'm one [01:03.28]If I had only listened of what my mama said [01:11.88]I'd be at home today [01:19.75]But bein' so young and foolish, my Lord [01:29.14]Let a gambler lead me astray [01:37.70]Now, my mother is a tailor [01:46.52]She sews new blue jeans [01:53.28]And my sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord [02:02.02]Drinks down in New Orleans [02:11.11]Now the only thing a drunken man needs [02:19.34]Is a suitcase and a trunk [02:28.81]And the only time he's satisfied [02:35.93]Lord, is when he's on the drunk [02:44.56]Somebody go get my baby sister [02:52.95]Tell her to do never to do what I have done [03:01.46]But shun that house in New Orleans [03:09.45]They call it the Rising Sun [03:18.25]Well I'm goin' back to New Orleans [03:26.52]My race is almost won [03:32.70]Yes I'm goin' back to spend my life [03:48.90]Beneath, the rising sun [04:36.31]
