歌词
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one
♪
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord
Down in New Orleans
♪
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
♪
He fills his glasses up to the brim
And he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life
Is rambling from town to town
♪
Oh, tell my baby sister
♪
Not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
♪
Well, it's one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
♪
I'm a-going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to end my life
Down in the Risin' Sun
♪
There is a house in New Orleans
♪
They call the Risin' Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm one
