Roy Acuff - Rising Sun Lyrics



Roy Acuff - Rising Sun Lyrics




There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun

It's been the ruin of many poor boy and me oh Lord poor one

Go to tell my youngest brother not to do as I have done

Who shuned that house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun

[ fiddle ]

Go fill the glasses to the brim and let the drinks go marry around

We'll drink to the half of a rounder poor boy who goes from town to town

The only thing a rounder needs is a suitcase and a trunk

The only time he is satisfied is when he's on a drunk

[ harmonica ]

So shun that house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun

It's been the ruin of many poor boy and me oh Lord poor one
