House of the Rising Sun
Oh the mornings are gray
In my room at the house of the rising sun
Oh I've been here for days
Oh it's a lonely life for me and my room is a prison
And my heart is in chains
Chorus:
House of the Rising Sun
You've got a hold on me
I must break free
Oh you've been good to me
But I must leave today
She was dressed all in white
She was standing by my bed
She said "You're a long way from home now boy"
She said "You'll be on your way now"
Oh I mustn't cry
Oh it's a lonely life for me and I'll try and be good for you baby
But I've got to go my own way
Chorus:
House of the Rising Sun
You've got a hold on me
I must break free
Oh you've been good to me
But I must leave today
Oh I'm on my way now
Oh I'm out of here now
Oh I'm on my way now
Oh I must clear up this misunderstanding now
And then I must be on my way now.
