There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
|
And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I'm one
|
|
My mother she was a tailor she sewed my new blue jeans
|
My father he was a gambler way down in New Orleans
|
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
|
There is a house in New Orleans...

|
Poor mother tell your children not to do what I have done
|
Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the Rising Sun
|
Well I got one foot on the platform the other foot on a train
|
I'm goin' back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain
|
There is a house in New Orleans...
|
Yes Lord I know I'm one
