House Of The Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun



And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I'm one



My mama was a taylor she sowed my new blue jeans



My daddy was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans



Not the only thing a gambler needs is the suitcase and the trunk



And the only time he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk



Oh mama tell your children not to do what I have done



Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the Rising Sun



There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun



And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I'm one
