House Of The Rising Sun - American Idol Performance - Haley Reinhart

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the rising 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 my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Well, down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother oh, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your life in sin and misery

In the house of the rising sun

Well, there is a house in New Orleans

They call the rising sun

Oh, and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know

Well, I know I'm one
