There is a house in New Orleans down in the Vieaux Carre
|
A house they call the Rising Sun where love and money are made
|
|
My father he was a gambler mother died when I was young
|
And I've worked since then to pleasure the men
|
At the house of the Rising Sun
|
|
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising sun
|
It's been the ruin of many a good girl and oh God you know I'm one
|
|
So mothers you go tellin' all your daughters not to do what I have done
|
To live a life of sin shame and strife in the house of the Rising Sun
|
|
There is a house down in New Orleans they call the Rising sun
|
It's been the ruin of many a good girl and oh God you know I'm one
|
Oh God you know I'm one oh God you know I'm one
|
