House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

[Chorus]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys
And God I know I'm one

[Verse 1]
My mother was a taylor
She sewed my old blue jeans
My father was a foolish man
Down in New Orleans
[Verse 2]
Now the only thing the foolish needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on the run

Hey heey eeey

[Verse 3] Oh Mother, tell your children
To do as I say, not as I've done
Spending your time in misery and sin
In the house of the rising sun

[Verse 4]
Now I'm running to the station
Got my two feet on this train
But I know I'll wake where its begun
To live my life...

[Chorus]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys
And God I know I'm one
