Highlights
There is a house in New Orleans
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was the oldest kind
She's the only one who understood me
She's the only one who would care for me
The walls can be made down
In the trunk and the only time he's satisfied
Is when his hand is on your head
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spent your life in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
