The House of the Rising Sun lyrics

[Intro]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

[Verse 1]
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

[Verse 2]
Now the only thing that a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
