"Bob Dylan" recording session 2, Columbia Studio A, NYC - 22.nov.1961
The Home of Eve and Mac McKenzie, NYC - 23.nov.1961
There is a house [|down] in New Orleans
They call The Risin' Sun
An' it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
An' me, oh god, i'm one.
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, lord
Down in New Orleans.
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase an' a trunk
An' the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk.
He fills his glasses up to the brim
An' he'll pass the cards around
An' the only pleasure he gets out of life
Is ramblin' from town to town.
Oh tell my baby sister
Not to do what i have done
But shun that house [|down] in New Orleans
They call The Risin' Sun.
Well it's one foot on the platform
An' the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball an' chain.
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm goin' back to end my life
Down in The Risin' Sun.
There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Risin' Sun
An' it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
An' me, oh god, i'm one.

House Of The Risin' Sun 2 |

The Home of Eve and Mac McKenzie, NYC - 14.apr.1963
There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Risin' Sun
It's a-been the ruin of many a poor soul
An' me, oh god, i'm one.
If i had listened to what my mamma said
I'd be at home today
But bein' so young and foolish
I let gamblin' leave me astray.
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase an' a trunk
An' the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk.
He fills his glasses up to the brim
An' passes the cards around
An' the only time he's satisfied
Is ramblin' from town to town.
Oh tell my baby sister
Not to do what i have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call The Risin' Sun.
Well it's one foot on the platform
An' the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear my ball an' chain.
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm goin' back to spend my days
Beneath The Risin' Sun.
