House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the rising sun

And it`s been the ruin for many poor boys

And me, oh God, I`m one



The only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he`s satisfied

Is when he`s all a drunk



My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gambling man

Down in New Orleans



One foot on the platform

The other 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 for many poor boys

And me, oh God, I`m one



I`m going back to New Orleans

My race is almost run

I`m going back to end my life

In the house of the rising sun
