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 was a tailor Sewed my new Blue Jeans
My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans
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
Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in pain and misery In the House of the Rising Sun
