lyrics

The House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans it’s called the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know I'm one
Yes I know I’m one yeah

My mother was a tailor sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans
Down in dirty New Orleans

The only thing a gambler needs a suitcase and a trunk
The only time that he is satisfied is when he's on a drunk
On a down and dirty drunk

Oh mothers tell your children not to do what I have done
And spend your life in sin and misery in the House of the Rising Sun
In that Rising Sun

Got one foot on that platform the other’s on a train
I'm goin' down to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain
A dirty rusty ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans it’s called the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and God I know I'm one
God I know I'm one yeah yeah House of Rising Sun
