House of the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
- 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 bluejeans
- 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'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
