House of The Rising Sun

The song describes a gambling man whose life was ruined by a house in New Orleans known as "The Rising Sun". It tells of how his mother was a tailor who made him blue jeans, and his father was a gambling man who was only satisfied when drunk. It warns listeners not to follow the same path of sin and misery in the house of the rising sun, and of the singer's intention to return to New Orleans to face the consequences of his actions.
