Lyric The Real House of the Rising Sun

(Alan Price - arr. Waylon Jennings)

There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising sun
It s been the ruin of many poor boys and me
Oh God, I m one.

My mother was a taylor
She sowed these old blue jeans
My father was a gambler
Lord, down in New Orleans.

Go tell my baby sister
Not to do the the things I ve done
Outshine that house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising sun.

There is a house down in New Orleans
they call the Rising sun
It s been the ruin of many poor boys and me
Oh God, I m one...
