Sandi Thom - The House Of The Rising Sun текст песни

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God only knows I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back, goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God only knows I'm one
