Josh Halverson - House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans The only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he feels satisfied Is when he's on a drunk Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your life in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun
