House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans

It's called the rising sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I am one, oh yeah

There is a house in New Orleans

They called the rising sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I am one, oh yeah

Oh Mother, tell your children

Not to do what I have and keep them safe

Keep them close and keep them warm and satisfied

When they are down, beneath the rising sun, oh yeah

Listen to what I say, and don't you turn away

How do you go out to sin and misery

Don't you know life can be, so beautiful and free

When you down, beneath the rising sun, whoa yeah

There is a house in New Orleans

It's called the rising sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I am one, oh yeah
