Lyrics
| 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 oneMy mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gambling man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he’s satisfied Is when he’s on a drunkOh mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising SunWell, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I’m going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain
Well, 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 |
在紐奧良有一間屋子 人們都叫它”日昇之屋”很多窮人的孩子都在此毀掉一生上帝，我就是其中一個我的母親是個裁縫是她縫製好我的新牛仔褲我的父親是個賭徒在紐奧良南方現在，這個賭鬼唯一需要的是行李箱與大皮箱他唯一感到滿足的時候是他喝醉的時候噢！媽媽，告訴孩子們別步入我的後塵在罪惡與悲慘中度過餘生在那”日昇之屋”
我一腳踏在月台另一腳踏在火車車廂上我正要回到紐奧良回去戴上腳銬與鎖鏈 在紐奧良有一間屋子人們都叫它”日昇之屋”很多窮人的孩子都在此毀掉一生上帝，我就是其中一個 |
