Lyrics:
There is a house down in New Orleans Down in the vieux 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 please the men At 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
So, mothers, you go telling all your daughters Not to do what I've done To live a life of sin, shame and strife In 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 Oh god, you know I'm one
