House of the Rising Sun (Judith's Version)

 House Of The Rising Sun (Judith’s Ver.)

There is a house in New Orleans

It’s called the Rising Sun

It’s been the ruin of many a poor girl,

And me, oh no, I’m one

My mother was a warrior

She tamed my wild sharp teeth

An’ my father, damn, they called him a spy

From the streets of New Orleans

Now the only thing that’s left for me

Is to up and leave my home

‘Cause the only ways I’m satisfied

Oh, I’m ruined when they’re done

If I’d listened to my mother

I’d be at home today

But I’ve been young and foolish

And now I’ve gone astray

I got one foot on the platform

The other on the train

I’m going back to New Orleans

To wear my ball and chain

My freedom days are over

My race is almost run

It’s time I got to leaving here

For the House of the Rising Sun

Ah, mothers, tell your daughters

Not to do as I have done

Spend your lives in shame and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

Adapter's Notes:
"My father, damn, they called him a spy" references Terrence's shapeshifting ability - Tobias specifically, among others, is mentioned as buying into a conspiracy where Judith's father is used as an undercover agent, spying on enemies of the Clave by taking the shape of their friends/family/staff/organization members
