Toda a gente conhece a canção, mas...

... poucos sabem que, na versão original, é cantada no feminino. Aliás, só assim é que a letra faz sentido, pois «A Casa do Sol Nascente» é uma casa-de-perdição...

NOTA: No disco da versão cantada pela Joan Baez, a canção é referida como sendo popular, de autor desconhecido.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor GIRLS
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' 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 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 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 poor GIRLS
And God I know I'm one
