House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

Song information

Artist: Dolly Parton
Album: Nine To Five And Odd Jobs

Lyrics

There is a house in new orleans down in the vieaux carre
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 pleasure the men
At the house of the rising sun

There is a house 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 tellin' all your daughters not to do what I have done
To live a life of sin shame and strife in 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
Oh god you know I'm one oh god you know I'm one
