There is a house in_new Or-leans
thay call IT the ris- ing_sun
And It's been, the ru-in
of ma-ny, poor boys.
And God I Kno-ow I'm One.
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'm one.
My mother was a tailor,
Sewed my new blue jeans.
My fa-ther was a gam--bl-in' man,
Now the onl--y thing a gambler needs,
Is a suitcase and a trunk,
And the o-nly time he'll be,
Sa-tisfied, is when he's a-ll a drunk.
Oh mother tell your children,
Not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
In the house of the rising sun.
Well I've got one foot on the platform.
The other foot on the train.
I'm go--in' back to New Orleans,
To wear that ba-ll and chain.
Well 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 kn-ow I'm one.
