House Of The Rising Sun

House Of The Rising Sun - John Otway/Wild Willy Barrett

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

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

And God I know I'm one

My mother she was a tailor

She 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

And the only time the Adam feels satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

So mothers tell your children

Not to do what I have done

As you spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans

Oh yeah

They call the Rising Sun

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

And God I know I'm one

And God I know I'm one one one

God I know I'm one
