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

  • @raikou6 I am the exact same. Only I'm 19. It's pretty lonely, though, I must say. When all of my friends are awkwardly silent as I play all of my music when they come over to my place. But I would never trade my music taste for the world.

  • Im 18, while everyone that I know is listening to shitty music I take the time to listen to Leadbelly albums that are older than my parents themselves. My point? Don't give up on the new generation, most of people my age listen to shit, but there's a few of us out there that value great music. Leadbelly will never be left in the past.
