There is a house in New Orleans 

It's called the Rising Sun 

It's been the ruin of many a poor boy 

And Lord I know of one 



If he had heard what Daddy said 

He'd be a King today 

But he knew best, what he should do 

And he was on his way 



He soon became a travellin� man 

He's travelled from town to town 

The path he took was good to him 

Till he drank his liquor down 



------ Guitar solo ------ 



Then he woke up a body died 

Realised what he had done 

Remembered what is daddy said 

�bout the House of the Rising Sun 



There is a house in New Orleans 

It's called the Rising Sun 

It's been the ruin of many a poor boy 

And Lord I know of one 

And Lord I know of one 

yes I do I really know, I know of one 

yes I do I know of one, yea
