The House of the Rising Sun Lyrics
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh, mother tell your children
Not to do what we have done
Spend your lives in cheap misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And God I know I'm one
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Is a suitcase and trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Not to do what we have done
Spend your lives in cheap misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And God I know I'm one
