House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics - Singles - Dolly Parton

There is a house down in New Orleans 

Down in the Vieux Carr'e 

A house they call the rising sun 

Where love and money are made 

My father he was a gambler 

Mother died when I was young 

And I've worked since then 

To please the men 

At the house of the rising sun

There is a house 

Down in New Orleans 

They call the rising sun 

It's been the ruin of many a good girl 

And oh God, you know I'm one 

So mothers you go telling all your daughters 

Not to do what I've done 

To live a life of sin, shame and strife 

In the house of the rising sun

It's been the ruin of many a good girl 

And oh God, you know I'm one 

Oh God, you know I'm one
