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 she was a tailor
|
Sewed my new blue jeans
|
My father was a gamblin' man
|
Down in New Orleans
|
mother come on tell your
|
children love
|
Not to do what we have done
|
Spend your lives in
|
sin and misery
|
In the House of the Rising Sun
|
<Interlude>
|
Only thing a gambler needs
|
Is a suitcase and trunk
|
Only time the man's satisfied
|
Is when he's on a drunk
|
mother come on tell your
|
children love
|
Not to do what we have done
|
Spend your lives in
|
sin and misery
|
In the House of the Rising Sun
|
I say there is a house
|
it's done in New Orleans
|
In the House of the Rising Sun
|
It's been the ruin of
|
many poor boy
|
And God I know I'm one
