The House of the Rising Sun - The Ventures

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 gambling man

Down in New Orleans

Oh, mother, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the 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 a poor boy

And God, I know I’m one

Oh tell your children

Oh tell your children

I know I’m one
