House of the Rising Sun

House of the Rising Sun - Midday Sun

There is a house down in New Orleans

Down in the Vieux Carr'e

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

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

So mothers you go telling all your daughters

Not to do what I've 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
