These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
There is a house in New Orleans
There is a house in New Orleans
Call it the rising sun
Call it the rising sun
And it's been the ruin
And it's been the ruin
Of many a poor girl
Of many a poor girl
And me, lord, I'm one
And me, lord, I'm one
If I'd listened what my mama said
If I'd heard what my mom said
Be at home today
Be at home today
Bein' so young
I'm so young
And foolish, my Lord
And foolish, my Lord
Let a gambler lead me astray
Let a gambler lead me astray
My mother was a tailor
My mother was a tailor
Sews new blue jeans
Sews new blue jeans
My sweetheart's is a drunkard, Lord
My sweetheart's a drunkard, Lord
Drinks down in New Orleans
Drinks down in New Orleans
Go tell my baby sister
Go tell my baby sister
Never do what I have done
Never do what I have done
Shun that house in New Orleans
Shun that house in New Orleans
They call it the rising sun
They call it the rising sun
Goin' back to New Orleans
Goin' back to New Orleans
Race is almost run
Race is almost over
Goin' back to spend my life
Goin' back to spend my life
Beneath, beneath, beneath, Lord
Beneath, beneath, beneath, Lord
Beneath, now
Beneath, now
Beneath the rising, rising sun
Beneath the rising, rising sun
Now, now
Now, now
You come on by
You come on by
