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 gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now 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. 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 got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm going back to New Orleans To wear that ball 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 know 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
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 he's satisfied
Is when he's on 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 got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball 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 know I’m one.....
