Supremes - The House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

(Price) <br />

<br />

There is a house in New Orleans<br />

They call the Rising Sun<br />

And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl<br />

And God I know I'm one<br />

<br />

My mother was a tailor<br />

Sewed my new blue jeans<br />

My father was a gamblin' man<br />

Down in New Orleans<br />

<br />

Now the only thing a gambler needs<br />

Is a suitcase and trunk<br />

The only time he's satisfied<br />

Is when he's on a drunk<br />

<br />

Oh, mother tell your children<br />

Not to do what we have done<br />

Spend your lives in chear misery<br />

In the House of the Rising Sun<br />

<br />

Well, there is a house in New Orleans<br />

They call the Rising Sun<br />

And it's been the ruin of many poor girl<br />

And God I know I'm one
