There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh, mother tell your children
Not to do what we have done
Spend your lives in chear misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
And God I know I'm oneNow if my eyes don't show you,
Cause they're fueled with fire,
And my pride, it builds a barrier,
As the flames are growing high,
And the future is a fugitive,
To my everyday desires,
And all I want is everything,
And more,
La di da di da di da di da da,
I'm so la di da.
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
La di da di da da da,
La di da di da da da da.
Now if your charms don't hold me.
Your presence, it won't posses me,
You try so hard to tame me,
Control the one's we love,
Don't compare me to the others,
Your oh so perfect lovers,
They're so civilized civilized civilized,
They are morons,
La di da di da di da di da,
I'm so la di da.
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
La di da di da da da,
La di da di da da da da.
La da la da la da...
I am the boldest,
I am the boldest don't you know,
I am the boldest,
I am the boldest of them all,
I am the boldest don't you know,
Don't you know.
Now if my eyes don't show you,
Cause they're fueled with fire,
And my pride, it builds a barrier,
As the flames grow,
La di da di da di da di da da,
I'm so la di da.
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth.
