there is a house in new orleans

they call the rising sun

it's been the ruin of a many a poor girl

and me, oh god are one

if i had listened like momma said

i would not be here today

but being so young and foolish too

that a gambler lead me astray

come tell my baby sisters

dont do what i have done

please shun that house in new orleans

they call the rising sun

i'm goin back to new orleans

my race is almost run

i'm goin back to new orleans

beneath the rising sun

These wonderful blues musicians have influenced many many people. If it was not for these men and women we may never have had Pink Floyd , Led Zeppelin , SVR , Eric Clapton , I could go on for ever. Thank You for the wonderful and soul moving music !!!!

I never understood the love affair white people have with this old coon. His voice sounds like two cats fighting. Plus . . . he's a murderer. I suppose we could say he's just your typical old knee-grow trying to scam white folks.

Yes, I can hear Mr.Leadbelly too in the background. He says, "..now tell my baby sister" and " I'm going back..". He is telling the individual singing what part to sing next.
