The song dates back to the 1930's and has been recorded by many. Depending on the version, the song speaks of a woman whose life is led into degradation or, as in another version, takes the point of view of a man whose father has become a gambler and drunkard. The "house" may refer to a brothel as the song is set in New Orleans or a place to gamble as that is what the father does.

House of Prostitution literally. I don’t think the men who went there were looking for β€œcompanionship”, they were looking for sex.Β
