THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN There is a house in New Orleans They call the rising sun And it's been a ruin of many poor girls And God I know I'm one There is a house in New Orleans They call the rising sun And it's been a ruin of many poor girls And God I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my old blue jeans My father was a gambling man Down in New Orleans Oh Mothers tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in misery In the house of the rising sun You think that I'm not worthy To live in peace and harmony But I show where it's at my friend Please have a little faith in me There is a house in New Orleans They call the rising sun Just give me a chance to prove myself God I I I wanna be a chosen one Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhh!!!!!!
