Lyrics:
There are a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun,
Where many poor boys to destruction has gone,
And me, oh God, for one.

Just fill the glass up to the brim,
Let the drinks go merrily around,
We’ll drink to the life 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 on 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 high,
Saying, “Boys, I can’t come down. ”

I’m going back, to New Orleans,
For my race is almost run,
To spend the rest of my wicked life,
Beneath the Rising Sun.
