House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics by Billy Lee Riley

Billy Lee Riley In Action!!!!

0

There is a house in New Orleans
\nThey call the Rising Sun
\nIt's been the ruin of many a-poor, poor boy
\nGod I know I'm one
\n
\nMy mother was a tailor
\nShe sewed my new blue jeans
\nMy father was a gamblin' man
\nDown in New Orleans
\n
\nWell, the only thing a gambler needs
\nIs a suitcase and a trunk
\nYeah, and the only time he's satisfied
\nIs when he's all a-drunk
\n
\nYeah, mother tell your children
\nNot to do what I have done
\nTo spend your life in sin and misery
\nIn the House of the Rising Sun
\n
\nYeah, there is a house in New Orleans
\nThey call the Rising Sun
\nIt's been the ruin of many a-poor boy
\nGod I know I'm one\n\n
