There is a house in New Orleans
ย
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
ย
My mother was a tailor
ย
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
ย
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 trump
ย
Oh mother, tell your children
ย
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
ย
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
ย
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
