House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun 

And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I'm one 

My mama was a taylor she sowed my new blue jeans 

My daddy was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans 

Not the only thing a gambler needs is the suitcase and the trunk 

And the only time he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk 

Oh mama tell your children not to do what I have done 

Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the Rising Sun 

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun 

And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I'm one
