The House Of The Rising Sun
Helmut Lotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They call the Rising Sun.
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl,
And me, O God, for one.
If I had listened what Mamma said,
I'd 'a been at home today.
Being so young and foolish, poor boy,
Go tell my baby sister
Never do like I have done
To shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun.
My mother she's a tailor;
She sold those new blue jeans.
My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, Lord, Lord,
Drinks down in New Orleans.
The only thing a drunkard needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk.
Fills his glasses to the brim,
Passes them around
Only pleasure he gets out of life
Is hoboin' from town to town.
One foot is on the platform
And the other one on the train.
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.
Going back to New Orleans,
My race is almost run.
Going back to spend the rest of my days
Beneath that Rising Sun.
Helmut Lotti's song The House of the Rising Sun is a traditional American folk tune with a haunting melody and lyrics that tell the story of a young man who foolishly follows the path of a rambler to a house in New Orleans. The house, known as the Rising Sun, is said to have been the ruin of many poor girls and the singer himself. He laments that if he had only listened to his mother's warnings, he would not be in his current predicament.
The lyrics serve as a warning to others, as the singer implores his sister and anyone else who will listen to avoid the house in New Orleans and the many dangers within. The song also touches on themes of alcoholism, poverty, and the transient life of a hobo, with the singer describing his sweetheart as a drunkard who spends his days drinking in New Orleans.
Despite the dark subject matter, the song has been covered by many famous artists, including The Animals, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez. The House of the Rising Sun remains a classic in the American folk canon and a cautionary tale that still resonates with listeners today.

Helmut Lotti is doing Elvis's fans proud by keeping him alive with his music. How lovely and meticulously played by the orchestra. You must have loved Elvis as most of us. Keep it up! You are a good singer.
