The House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
and it's been the ruing for many poor boy
and god, i know i'm one.

My mother was a tailor
she sewed my new blue jeans
my father was a gamblin'man
down in New Orleans.

now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he's satsfied is when he's on a drunk.

Oh mother tell your children
not to do what i have done
spend your lives in sin and misery
in the house of the Rising Sun.

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
and it's been the ruin for many a poor boy
and god, i know i'm one.
