Lyrics:

There is a house Down in New Orleans Down in the Vieux Carr'e 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 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 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
