House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans Down in the Vie aux Carree A house they call the Rising Sun Where love and money are made My father he was a gambler Mother died when I was young And I've worked since then to pleasure the men At the house of the Rising Sun There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising sun It's been the ruin of many a good girl And oh God you know I'm one So mothers you go tellin' all your daughters Not to do what I have done To live a life of sin shame and strife In the house of the Rising Sun There is a house down in New Orleans They call the Rising sun It's been the ruin of many a good girl And oh God you know I'm one Oh God, you know I'm one Oh God, you know I'm one
