Intro

 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

She sewed my new blue jeans

 My father was a gambling man

Down in New Orleans

And the only things a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

 And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's all a-drunk

I've got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

 I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear the ball and chain

So mothers, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

 Spend your life in sin and misery

In the house of the Rising Sun

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

Enjoy!
