1
There is a house in New Orleans
2
They call the Rising Sun,
3
And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy,
4
And God, I know I'm one.
5
My mother was a tailor,
6
Sewed my new blue jeans.
7
My father was a gambling' man
8
Down in New Orleans.
9
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
10
Is a suitcase and a trunk,
11
And the only time he'll be satisfied
12
Is when he's all 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've got one foot on the platform,
18
The other foot on the train.
19
I'm going 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 for many a poor boy,
24
And God, I know I'm one.
