1
There is a house in New Orleans,
2
They call the Rising Sun,
3
And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys
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 gambling man
8
Way down in New Orleans.
9
Now the only thing a gambler needs
10
Is a suitcase and a trunk
11
And the only time to keep him satisfied
12
Is when he's all drunk.
13
Oh, mother tell your children
14
Not to do what I've done
15
To spend their life in sin and misery
16
In the house of the Rising Sun.
17
I got one foot on the platform
18
The other on the train
19
I'm going back to New Orleans
20
To wear that ball and chain
21
There is a house in New Orleans
22
They call the Rising Sun
23
And it's been the ruin of many young poor boys
24
And, God, I know I'm one.
