Clarence Ashley - House Of The Risin' Sun - Rising Sun Blues lyrics
Artist: Clarence Ashley
album: House of the Rising Sun (Original Version 1932)
There are a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Where many poor boy to destruction has gone
And me, oh God, are one
Just fill a glass up to the brim
Let the drinks go merrily round
We'll drink to the light of a rounder, poor boy
Who goes from town to town
All in this world does a rambler want
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all a drunk
Now boys, don't believe, what a young girl tells you
Let her eyes be blue or brown
Unless she's on some scaffold height
Sayin "Boys, I can't come down"
I'm going back to New Orleans
For the race is almost run
To spend the rest of my weaked life
Beneath the Rising Sun
They call the Rising Sun
Where many poor boy to destruction has gone
And me, oh God, are one
Just fill a glass up to the brim
Let the drinks go merrily round
We'll drink to the light of a rounder, poor boy
Who goes from town to town
All in this world does a rambler want
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all a drunk
Now boys, don't believe, what a young girl tells you
Let her eyes be blue or brown
Unless she's on some scaffold height
Sayin "Boys, I can't come down"
I'm going back to New Orleans
For the race is almost run
To spend the rest of my weaked life
Beneath the Rising Sun
