You'll pull out your sword, you'll slash it around
Impress all the girls this house has found
You'll tell them the stories of things you've not done
You're full of courage until you see the sun

Night time is callin', they beckon you in
You saved up some money to find a new friend
You say you're not scared, but you leave on the run
You're full of courage until you see the sun

The first time's the hardest
In more ways than one
When you visit the house of the rising sun

You're full of courage till you see the door
Then you decide that you want something more
You turn around, you'll wait for the fun
You're full of courage until you see the sun

That first time only happens one time in your life
And if you are lucky it won't saddle you with a wife
That fist time it's got to, it's got to feel right
Don't waste that first time on an empty night

The first time's the hardest
In more ways than one
When you visit the house of the rising sun
