The House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

There is a house
Down in New Orleans
Down in the Vieux Carr'e
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 I've worked since then
To Pleasure the men
At The House of the Rising Sun.

There is a house
Down in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's 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 have done
To live a life of sin, shame and strife
In The House of the Rising Sun.

There is a house
Down in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a good girl
And oh GOD, you know I'm one
Oh GOD, you know I'm one
Oh GOD, you know I'm one
