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 Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time he'll be satisfied Is when he's all drunk Oh, mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun Well, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm goin' 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

A versão mais famosa de “House of the Rising Sun”, gravada pelos The Animals em 1964, alcançou o primeiro lugar nas paradas de singles do Reino Unido, dos Estados Unidos e do Canadá.
Essa gravação dos The Animals foi rotulada como o “primeiro sucesso folk rock”, marcando a fusão pioneira entre o folk tradicional e o rock elétrico.
Embora seja conhecida como uma canção americana, o tema foi inicialmente coletado na região dos Apalaches na década de 1930, sugerindo origens possivelmente ligadas ao folk inglês.
No catálogo de canções folclóricas, “House of the Rising Sun” está registrado sob o número 6393 no Roud Folk Song Index.
Em junho de 2026, a CBS News incluiu “House of the Rising Sun” na lista dos 250 músicas americanas essenciais dos últimos 250 anos.
