House Of The Rising Sun lyrics
by Dolly Parton



A house they call the "Rising Sun",Where love and money are madeMy father, he was a gambler, mama died when I was youngAnd I've worked since then to pleasure the menAt the house of the rising sunThere is a house in New Orleans, they call the "Rising Sun",It's been the ruin of many a good girlAnd oh God, you know I'm oneSo mothers, you go tellin' all your daughtersNot to do what I have doneTo live a life of sin, shame and strifeIn the "House of the Rising Sun"There is a house in New Orleans, they call the "Rising Sun",It's been the ruin of many a good girlAnd oh God, you know I'm oneOh God, you know I'm oneOh God, you know I'm one
