There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun
[C] It stands adorning all the many poor [Fm] girls [A] And the old gods [F] were wondering
If I had a son like my mama said I would have been there today
But he's so young and lazy [G] That a [C] gambler needs [F] to play
Don't tell my baby [C] sister Don't tell my baby sister
Don't do what I have done Please turn that house into a park
[G] They call the [F] Rising Sun
