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 please 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`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 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
