There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the downfall of many a poor boy
And Lord, you know that I'm one
My mother was my tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
And my papa was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
Mothers, go tell your children
Don't you let them do what I've done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
ย
The only thing a gamblin' man needs
Is a suitcase and an old funky trunk
And the only time a man is satisfied
Is when he's out on a stolen drunk, yeah
