There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor boys,
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

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 one foot on the train
I'm goin' 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 poor boys
And God, I know I'm one
