[Intro Instrumental]

[Verse One]
There is a house in New Orleans...
And they call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, God, I know I'm one

[Verse Two]
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
And my daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans, yeah

[Verse Three]
Ahh! Oh, mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Don't spend your life in sin and misery
At the House of the Rising Sun

[Verse Four]
Yeah there is a house in New Orleans
And they call it the Rising Sun! Yeah...
Oh, and it's been- been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, by God, I know I'm one...

[Outro Instrumental]
