House of the Rising Sun

House of the Rising Sun - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

The downfall of so many young girls

My sweetheart she was one

Oh I was young and foolish

At home I could not stay

But my sweetheart left with a gamblin man

Who led her heart astray

When I was through with ramblin'

Then home I quickly run

Her mother cried you'll find my girl

In the House of the Rising Sun

And when I saw my sweetheart

It gave my heart such pain such pain

She said to me in misery

I could never go home again

Now go and tell my baby sister

Not to do what I have done

But spend your life

As an honest man's wife

Turn your back on the Rising Sun

Turn your back on the Rising Sun
