[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 tailor
She sewed my old blue jeans
My father was a foolish man
Down in New Orleans

[Verse 2]
Now the only thing a foolish needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
Now the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on the run

[Bridge]
Hey heey eeey

[Verse 3]
Oh mother, tell your children
To do as I say, not as I've done
Spending your life 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
I know I'll wake where it's 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
