There is a house in New Or----leans,

My mother was a tailor,

Oh, mother, tell your children

Going back to New Or---leans,

They call the "Rising Sun",

She sewed those new blue jeans,

Not to do what I have done -

My race is almost run,

It's been the ruin of many a poor girl, (boys?)

my father was a gambling man,

Spend your lives in sin and mise-----ry

I'm going to spend the rest of my life,

And God, I know, I'm one.

down in New Or----leans.

In the House of Rising Sun

Be------neath that " Rising Sun".
