Title: The House Of The Rising Sun

There is a house in new orleans

They call the rising sun

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

And god i know i'm one

My mother was a tailor

Sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in new orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk

The only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

Oh, mother tell your children

Not to do what we have done

Spend your lives in chear misery

In the house of the rising sun

Well, there is a house in new orleans

They call the rising sun

And it's been the ruin of many poor girl

And god i know i'm one
