There is a house down in new orleans |
|
Down in the vieux carre |
|
A house they call the rising sun |
|
Where love and money are made |
|
My father he was a gambler |
|
Mother died when I was young |
|
And Ive worked since then |
|
To please the men |
|
At the house of the rising sun |
|
There is a house |
|
Down in New Orleans |
|
They call the rising sun |
|
Its been the ruin of many a good girl |
|
And oh god, you know I'm one |
|
So mothers you go telling all your daughters |
|
Not to do what I've done |
|
To live a life of sin, shame and strife |
|
In the house of the rising sun |
|
There is a house in New Orleans |
|
They call the rising sun |
|
Its been the ruin of many a good girl |
|
And oh god, you know I'm one |
|
Oh god, you know I'm one |
