House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics - Josh Halverson

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 was a tailor 

She sewed my new blue jeans 

My father was a gamblin' man 

Down in New Orleans 

The only thing a gambler needs 

Is a suitcase and trunk 

And the only time he feels satisfied 

Is when he's on a drunk 

Oh mother tell your children 

Not to do what I have done 

Spend your life in sin and misery 

In the House of the Rising Sun
