There is a house in New Orleans They call the rising sun And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl And me, oh God, for one If I had listened to what mama said I’d be at home today Being so young and foolish (poor boy) Let a rambler lead me astray Go tell my baby sister Never do like I have done To shun that house in New Orleans They call the rising sun My mother she’s a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My sweetheart he’s a drunkard, Lord, He drinks down in New Orleans The only thing a drunkard needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he’s satisfied Is when he’s on a drunk Fills his glasses to the brim Passes them around Only pleasure he gets out of life Is hoboing from town to town One foot is on the platform And the other’s on the train I’m going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain Going back to New Orleans My race is almost run Going back to spend the rest of my days Beneath that rising sun.

I thought that all girls were the same They’d always leave before they came But all of that went down the drain And I couldn’t wait to learn her name I saw her walking real slow talking on a brand new cellphone And as soon as she said, “Hello,” I knew I could not say no I go to work while she’s at school And we’ve got everybody fooled It doesn’t matter what they say It’s getting better every day I wake up in the morning and I ask, “Is life worth living?” Then I see my baby naked making breakfast in the kitchen And maybe (I’m satisfied) Oh, she’s my lady (she’s by my side) Oh, she makes me crazy (‘cause she’s so fine) ‘Cause she’s daddy’s little girl Some people say our love is wrong They wonder how we carry on But we’ve been happy from the start ‘Cause daddy never falls apart Sometimes I stop and wonder if I could love any other ’Til I think about my lover moving underneath these covers And maybe (I’m satisfied) Oh, she’s my lady (she’s by my side) Oh, she makes me crazy (‘cause she’s so fine) ‘Cause she’s daddy’s little girl And maybe (I’m satisfied) You know that she’s my lady (she’s by my side) You know she makes me crazy (‘cause she’s so fine) ‘Cause she’s daddy’s little girl (she’s so fine) And maybe (I’m satisfied) Oh, she’s my lady (she’s by my side) Oh, she makes me crazy (‘cause she’s so fine) ‘Cause she’s daddy’s little girl And maybe (I’m satisfied) You could find a lady (you’re satisfied) One that makes you crazy (so satisfied) Your daddy’s little girl (she’s so fine) Daddy’s little girl (she’s so fine) (She’s so fine) (She’s so fine).
