The House of the Rising Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There is a house in New Orleans Down in the Vieux Carré A house they call the Rising Sun Where love and money are made [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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
