Best Guitar Songs — The House of the Rising Sun lyrics

Lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
and it´s been the ruing for many 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.
now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time he´s satsfied is when he´s on a drunk.
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.
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
and it´s been the ruin for many a poor boy
and god, i know i´m one.
