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
Daddy was a gamblin’ man
Way down in New Orleans
The one and only thing a gambler ever has
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time a gambler’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk
Mothers, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in fear and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other’s on the train
I’m goin’ 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 of many a poor boy
And God, I know I’m one
And God, I know I’m one
In the house of the Rising Sun
