Letra “Hildegard von Blingin' – House of the Rising Sun” Official Lyrics
Chorus
There is a house in Orléans
They call the Rising Sun
It has been the ruin of many a soul
And Lord I know I’m one
Verse 2
Mother was a tailor
She sewed my chaperon
My father was a gambling man
Down, in Orléans
Verse 3
The only thing a gambler requires
Is a satchel and his luck
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s in his cups
Verse 4
Oh mothers tell thy children
Not to do what I have done
I spent my life in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Verse 5
I’ve one foot in the stirrup
The other on the ground
I shall return to Orléans
To bе lost, and never found
Chorus
Therе is a house in Orléans
They call the Rising Sun
It has been the ruin of many a soul
And Lord I know I’m one
