There is a house in Orléans
They call the Rising Sun
It has been the ruin of many a soul
And Lord, I know I'm one
Mother was a tailor
She sewed my chaperon
My father was a gambling man
Down, in Orléans
The only thing a gambler requires
Is a satchel and his luck
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's in his cups
Oh, mothers tell thy children
Not to do as I have done
I spent my life in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
I've one foot in the stirrup
And the other on the ground
I shall return to Orléans
To be lost, and never found
There is a house in Orléans
They call the Rising Sun
It has been the ruin of many a soul
And Lord, I know I'm one
