Lyrics

[Chorus]
There's a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh, Lord is one
Me, oh, Lord is one
[Verse 1]
Go tell my baby sister
Love will do what I have done
Shine the house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Call the Rising Sun
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Instrumental]
There's a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh, Lord is one
And me, oh, Lord is one
[Verse 2]
I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
Go and bet your own money
Beneath the Rising Sun
Beneath the Rising Sun
