Hollens, Peter - House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
I know, I know I'm one
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 trunk
And the only time he is satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mothers tell your children (Children, don't you do)
Don't 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
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
Our race is almost run
I'm goin' back to spend the night
In the House of the Rising Sun

Hollens, Peter House Of The Rising Sun Comments
you should do a cover for Riders on the storm
Beautiful arrangement (and singing, obviously)!!
Your range is something I wish I had! You have a huge range and it's truly amazing!
A year later I still love this cover how do you switch from low to high pitch so smoothly I need advice
Your low notes are beautiful Peter Hollens! :) <3
Which house of the rising sun do you like the animals or five finger death punch
Jesus Fkn Christ. The worst cover for this song on youtube.
He is wonderful
Wow I've found a new love in your music!! Love love love it!!
OUTSTANDING!!!
I'm frankly astounded at how low you can throw your voice. Also, you and Evynne should sing Can I Have This Dance from High School Musical.
Btw
Insprired by Haus In Neu Berlin
*Song idea!* can you sing the song called The Rose. Please and thank you.🥰
Too slow dude. Not a good cover.
I just found this video and it's sooooo good
You should use this for your Christmas album! (O Little Town of Bethlehem)
Beautiful voice but not an improvement on the original song!
One of my favorite songs, I can keep it on replay and never grow tired of it. Being a baritone/bass myself, I believe that this recording is superb. Thank you this was very enjoyable .
Absolutely perfect....and different from the others.
Just stumbled on this--really like your version--great harmonies on the back ups. Well done.
Amazing!
At the start, you looked like Avi Sensei
Kaplan?
Me. Hollens; Why can’t I buy this song?!?!
Nice one, thank you
you guy's have such beautiful harmony
Play mountains by biffy clyro
2.2 million subscribers but only 411K views? Watupwidat? Haven't heard a bad song yet!
WHHAAT FUC***
This cover is interesting, and the vocals are as always beautiful, but I personally don’t like the slowed down version of this song. I think the original is better with a more aggressive and passionate tone/style better matching the theme of the so related to masculinity, failure, regret, pain, etc.
Great👍💖💖
Fantastic🤗🤗

Can i request?? I wish u would sing " Somewhere over the rainbow" frank sinatra version (acoustic),, i will so much glad and thanksfull for you,,i wish i could hear that song from u..
Greating from indonesia 😉😉
I doubt you'll ever read this, but the timestamps are wrong in the description.
Perfect harmony
you should do Fields of Athenry
You have an amazing range, Peter, both vocally and stylistically. Would you consider covering "Still in Saigon" by the Charlie Daniels Band, and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot? I'd love to see what you can do with the varied emotions of both songs. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
What a cutie pie Peter is, such a fun personality!! AND...such an AMAZING talent!!! LOVE Peter's music, & love this change of the low pitch -- a truly versatile performer!!
Peter is epic❣
I was looking for a different version of the song but as soon as I saw you had done a cover of it i clicked! And I wasn’t disappointed at all!!
HotRS has always been a huge favorite of man. Thank you for this tear jerker
Peter, you are blessed. Continue to be blessed by God
love love it!!! beautiful and i even sang harmony to it!!! <3
You have a beautiful voice.
wow, the steadicam operator did a nice job...or was ist a gimbal?
You forgot Five Finger Death Punch...
gorgeous. but you can still rocky road to Dublin and The Parting Glass?
класс)!
Please, marry me
He's already married...with a kid
Could you please sings the songs from the movie the last unicorn please and thank you. Love to hear more Disney.
A unique arrangement. Very well done. Thanks.
Hey peter
What lowest note that you hit
I enjoyed this so much! My dad and I used to sit and listen to older songs and now that he’s gone...I cherish those songs even more. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. :)
well done but this revision lacks the umph that i normally hear in this peae. This ones mellow and somber
The best cover I have seen live was done by a guy called "Dutch Tilders" .... This is a nice cover his voice is excellent the harmonies give the song another element and real depth, Great Job.
Awesome voice 🤩
This made me tear up... so emotional. Very talented man!
You ask in the description who did it better and whilst your's is beautiful, the best version will forever be by Five Finger Death Punch :)
Beatiful!! But Five finger death punch did it best ...
you're right
when Peter('s voice) goes low, my heart goes high XD
Makes me want to hear Wandrin' Star from Paint Your Wagon
Oh... My... God... I'm left speechless.... 😭💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 simply beautiful
Rou Rou Rou I sleep
Love that ! ! !
Love this song. Perhaps cats in the cradle-cat Stevens could be a cover yo bring back from the depths?
I still remember my horse because his name is also Spirit from the movie.....I haven't watch the movie since I was 5 years old
Being a New Orleans resident, I thank you for not changing the words. Proud of my home. You sang this song perfectly, gives me chills. Xoxo
Dude, that was amazing thaNK you.
A valiant effort, but without the instruments, it falls flat.
It's been a few months but I can't stop listening to this. And when I'm not listening to it I hear it in my head. xD I especially like your voice at "not to do what I have done." Amazinnnggg. Well done as always. Loving your entire legendary vocals album. :)
your range is breathtaking.
I like the video, of course anything with you in it is wonderful. Your singing calms my heart. Like the shirt, you are wearing it just right. Peace and Love.
Is it weird that I remember I remember this song mostly for the FFDP version?
No need of the other voices, take the focous away.
Things have been really rough for me. Tonight is one of the worst nights. Ive never felt so depressed. And with YouTube's story you posted something and I ended up finding this. And I can't explain how it helped me. It made me feel something other than sadness so thank you. Thank you so much.
the best singer in this world ....
The Dead South did a pretty darn good version, but, the Animals is my favorite.
Always A Gift! Deep Gratitude For You. I would love to hear you sing "To Make You Feel My Love" and "Wild Mountain Thyme"
Can you sing traveling man or white lightning?
Chase Holfelder did it best
Glad i read the comment sections. Saw this guy perform regularly with On the Rocks. Glad he got a career out of it after the show ended.
I don't actually like this song but this is beautiful... Thank you Peter.
Wow! Amazing and beautiful. I grew up playing and singing this song.....love this. Enchanting, I'm hooked.
Shiiipppp did I miss this?? Who do I fire? Wow Mr Bass!!! 😊 most gorgeous lower tones. Rich yummy velvety
you forgot a version....sinead o conner version......i think i like hers the best casue it starts off quiet and soft and gets louder and more powerful yet keeping some softness in it. i like yours as well since it has its own feel to it.
Amazing! <3
Have you considered The Animals "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"?
You know this song is about a crackhouse/whorehouse right?
I loved it one of the best covers of this song I would like to heard you cover you don't come from harlen alive hope I gone it right
Isn't there a german song called "House of the rising sun" from the game 'Wolfenstein:The new order"? P.S. This was uploaded on my birthday :D
This song was done in August. The same month hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. Thoughts and prayers to the living and lost victims of hurricane Katrina.
Beautiful Peter absolutely stunning vocals as always xx
you should sing the song of the sea
I was wondering why this song sound familiar, its from the Battlefield trailer
Had this queued up after the 5 Finger Death Punch Version... Hauntingly beautiful. Gave everyone a run for their money. Been subscribed for I don't know how long anymore. A year AT LEAST. Keep it up! -Choir Kid from Florida 😂
How much do I have to pay you to sing Pretty Polly?
As many times as I'be heard this oldie, I never really knew the lyrics. (Now I wish I hadn't.) You sang a true interpretation. Well done.
This is Beautiful Peter Hollens! As always, can you please consider singing the song "Here I Am" from the movie Spirit Stallion of the Ciramon?
Peter Hollens please do it would love to hear you sing that song
@Peter Hollens Is this video already available? I can't find it
Peter Hollens “Sound the Bugle” would be awesome too! My two favorite songs from that movie! 🐴
@Peter Hollens Yes please
