Dolly Parton House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans

Down in the Vie aux Carree

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
