The House of the Rising Sun

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
