There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
ย
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
ย
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he feels satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
ย
Oh, mothers, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun
ย
I've got one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm goin' right back, on down to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
ย
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
ย
My God, I know I'm one
