lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans
Called The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boy
Lord, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
And my father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is his suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's good and drunk

Now mothers tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In The House of the Rising Sun

Now I got one foot on the platform
The other's on the train
And I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans
Called The Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor boy
Lord, I know I'm one
Lord, I know I'm one
Lord, I know I'm one
