House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

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 am one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
And my father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

O mother, O mother, O mother
Tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun

I've got one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
And I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear the ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
That they call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, God, I know I am one
