1
There is a house in New Orleans
2
They call the Rising Sun
3
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
4
And God I know I'm one
5
My mother was a tailor
6
She sewed my new bluejeans
7
My father was a gamblin' man
8
Down in New Orleans
9
Now the only thing a gambler needs
10
Is a suitcase and trunk
11
And the only time he's satisfied
12
Is when he's on a drunk
13
Oh mother tell your children
14
Not to do what I have done
15
Spend your lives in sin and misery
16
In the House of the Rising Sun
17
Well, I got one foot on the platform
18
The other foot on the train
19
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
20
To wear that ball and chain
21
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
22
They call the Rising Sun
23
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
24
And God I know I'm one
