| Lyrics |
A house they call the "
Rising Sun",
Where love and money are made
My father, he was a gambler, mama 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 tellin' 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 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
