Waylon Jennings - House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics






There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys and me
Oh God, I'm one.

My mother was a taylor
She sowed these old blue jeans
My father was a gambler
Lord, down in New Orleans.

Go tell my baby sister
Not to do the the things I've done
Outshine that house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising sun.

There is a house down in New Orleans
they call the Rising sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys and me
Oh God, I'm one...

    Wow. Waylon always could sing everything well, and this is superb. I always loved the Animals version. And now I could not say which I like better. Different styles, but this is absolutely great. Can't compare.

    I agree with you... and the Midnight Rider and Never Could Toe the Mark are 2 of my favorite Waylon songs... I love the beat and the rythm... Waylons voice is perfect for these style songs! Thanks for stopping by my friend... :)
