[ The House of The Rising Sun ] |
|
There is a house in New Orleans |
They call the Rising Sun |
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy |
And God I know I'm one |
|
My mother was a tailor |
She sewed my new blue jeans |
My father was a gamblin' man |
Down in New Orleans |
|
Now the only thing a gambler needs |
Is a suitcase and trunk |
And the only time he's satisfied |
Is when he's on a drunk |
|
Oh mother tell your children |
Not to do what I have done |
Spend your lives in sin and misery |
In the House of the Rising Sun |
|
Well, I got one foot on the platform |
The other foot on the train |
I'm goin' back to New Orleans |
To wear that ball and chain |
|
Well, there is a house in New Orleans |
They call the Rising Sun |
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy |
And God I know I'm one |
[ Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood ] |
|
Baby do you understand me now |
Some time you seem a little mad |
But don't you knowthat in your life |
you'll always be an angel |
And when things go wrong I seem a little mad |
But I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
|
You know sometimes baby I'm so carefree |
With a joy it is hard to hide |
Then sometimes seems all I have to do is worry |
Then you're bound to see my other side |
I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
Oh no please don't let me be misunderstood |
|
If I seem edgy I want you to know |
That I never seem to take it out on you |
When there's a problem then I get my share |
But that's one thing I never need to do |
And I love you oh, oh baby I'm just human |
I have thoughts like any other boy |
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting |
The foolish things I shouldn't have done |
|
But I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
Yes I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
I'm just a fool whose intentions are good |
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood |
