There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Be or God I'm one
Man be or God I'm one
Oh tell my baby sister
Don't do what I have done
Tell her to show me how
Down in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
They call the Rising Sun
My daddy was a tailor
He sews on them new bluejeans
And my mama she was a drunkard lord
Drinkin' down in New Orleans
Drinkin' down in New Orleans
I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I've go home to spend the rest of my live long days
Beneath the Rising of the Sun
Beneath the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor girl
And me or God I'm one
And me or God I'm one
