There have been sooo many lyrics written by many artists on this song. I used a combination from the Animals and Bob Dylan to record my version of this tune.

There is a house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin man
Down in new orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he is satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sheer misery
In the house of the risin' sun
I'm goin' back to new orleans
My race is almost run
I'm goin' back to end my life
Down in the risin' sun
There is a house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boy
And God, know I'm one
