Lyrics

There is a house in new orleans they call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys and, lord, I know I'm one
My mama was a tailor; she sewed my new blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man down in new orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs is the suitcase and the trunk
And the only time he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk
Oh, mama tell your children not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the rising sun
There is a house in new orleans they call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys and, lord, I know I'm one
