lyrics
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And, God, I know I'm one
Way down in New Orleans
Makin' way for men of means
Singin' blues and eatin' greens
Way down in New Orleans
My mother was a gambler
She sewed my pockets shut
My father was a family man
He was a you-know-what
The walls had eyes
The windows gave
The porch had a disease
The dust was dark
The girls were pale
Some jazz hung in the breeze.
It takes a heap of living in your house to make it home
It takes a family man to sing a family song
So, mothers, tell your children to do what she has done
Let 'em live in a house by the side of the road
and be a friend to man
Home is where your house is
Way down south where south is
Money where your mouth is
Way down yonder down in New Orleans
