House of the Rising Sun The Platters

[Chorus]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

[Verse 1]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Oh God, I know I'm one

[Verse 2]
If I had listened to what my Mama say
Why I'd be there home today
But I was young and foolish and poor
Led a gambling man lead me on astray

[Chorus]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

[Verse 3]
My mother she's a tailor
And she sews those new blue jeans
My sweetheart is a drunken, oh Lord
Hе drinks down in New Orleans
