The House of the Rising Sun

Lyrics

There is a house 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
 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
