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 My mother was a tailor She sewed my new bluejeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done Don't Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun In the House of the Rising Sun
