There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor gurl
And me, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Go tell my baby sister
Never do like I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun

It's one foot on the platform
The other's on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going to spend the rest of my life
Beneath The Rising Sun

House of the Rising Sun

Salut D'Amour

Professional Bass-Baritone, most of my work has been ensemble-based, including the Kansas City Chorale, Kantorei KC, Phoenix Chorale, Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and the Cecilia Ensemble of Augusta, GA. Soloist on two Grammy® Award winning albums with the Phoenix and Kansas City Chorales combined, conducted by Charles Bruffy. -- Here is some of my non-choral work, work with church choirs that do not publish, and a few cameos by my friends.
