Generate meaning
1
There is a house in New Orleans
2
They call the Risin' 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 blue jeans.
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 a trunk
11
And the only time that 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 risin' sun.
17
Well, I've 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.
