There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Lord knows I was one
My father was a gambler
He lived by the gun
He swore some day he'd take me to play
At the House of the Rising Sun
My mother was a lady
She never hurt no one
She cursed the day I went to play
In the House of the Rising Sun
She said "you're like your daddy, boy
Livin' on the run
Some day you'll draw a dead man's hand
At the House of the Rising Sun"
So listen all you gamblers
Don't do what I have done
You'll lose the things that you love the most
In 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 boy
And I guess I was one
