There is a house down in New Orleans
ย
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boys
And me, great God, I'm one
ย
Yeah, my mother, well, she's a tailor
She sews them new blue jeans, oh yeah
My love, well, she's a, she's a hooker, Lord
Works down in New Orleans
Yeah, and if I had listened to what my mama said
Lord, I'd have been at my home today, oh yeah
But being such a young and such a foolish boy
Let a gambler lead me astray
So go tell my baby brother
Not to do as I have done, oh no
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's one foot on that platform
And the other on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear my ball and chain
