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 young poor boys

And God I know I`m one.



My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gamblin man

Down in New Orleans.



Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time that he`s satisfied

Is when he`s all drunk.



Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done

To spend their life in sin and misery

In the house of the Rising Sun.



With one foot on the platform

And the other foot on the train

I`m going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain



There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it`s been the ruin of many young poor boys

And god I know I`m one.
