There is a house in New Orleans |
They call the Rising Sun. |
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy |
And God I know I'm one. |
My mother was a tailor, |
She sewed my new blue jeans. |
My father was a gambling man, |
Down in New Orleans. |
Now the only thing a gambler needs |
Is a suitcase and a 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 foot 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 a poor boy |
And God I know I'm one. |
