Y'avait jadis à New Orléans
Un lieu de filles perdues
Une maison de femmes aux yeux brûlant
L'hôtel du soleil levant
Des filles venues d'un peu partout
Poussées par un vent de misère
S'en venaient sombrer pour quelques sous
Dans les rêves des cœurs solitaires
Vous tous qui m'écoutez ce soir
Ne jetez pas la pierre
Car ces filles se vendent au prix du désespoir
Et elles portent leur croix sur la terre
Elle n'avait pas encore quinze ans
Quand elle est allée
Vendre son âme son cœur d'enfant
Vendre sa vie aux passants
Entre ses bras je me suis couché
Le temps d'une triste chanson
Mais je garde encore de ses baisers
Le goût et l'odeur de sueur sur son front
As-tu jamais imaginé
Qu'à l'ombre des volets clos
C'est le bagne c'est l'enfer des amours sans repos
La prison des cœurs naufragés
Que Dieu accueille dans son grand pardon
Ces enfants aux ventres meurtris
Et qu'il ouvre pour elles sa maison
Les portes de son paradis
Un train s'en va dans le brouillard
Je chante au soleil couchant
Pour ces filles sans joie
Qui partent un soir vers l'hôtel du soleil levant
