lyrics

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

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

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

Oh mother
Tell your children
Not to do what I have done

Spend your life
Sincerely or in misery
In the house of the rising sun
