There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother she was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father he was a gamblin' man
Down, down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother, tell all your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house, in the house of the Rising Sun
