The House of the Rising Sun - Lyrics: Traditional
(Verse 1)
Back row of my favorite suede jacket
Smoke from the chimney of the house I left
You and me against the world
House of the Rising Sun
(Chorus)
Come to my room with roses in your hair
Trying to sweet talk me into staying
But I've been down that road before
House of the Rising Sun
(Verse 2)
I've been up and out of town
Been up and down the river
And I've been all around this town
But I'll be back again
(Chorus)
Come to my room with roses in your hair
Trying to sweet talk me into staying
But I've been down that road before
House of the Rising Sun
(Bridge)
I've been on my own since I left home
And I've been with a woman who loved me for a song
But I'm feeling low and lonely now
House of the Rising Sun
(Chorus)
Come to my room with roses in your hair
Trying to sweet talk me into staying
But I've been down that road before
House of the Rising Sun
(Outro)
The House of the Rising Sun, shining high
It's a hard, cold place to die.
