Lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun It's been the ruin of many poor boy God knows that I am one My brother, he was a tailor He sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gamblin' man Way down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler would need Is a suitcase and trunk The only time he'll be satisfied Is when he's on the drunk Oh yeah Oh, mother, now all your children Now did you not heard what I have done? Spent your life in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun With one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain Oh yeah With one foot on the platform The other foot on the train I'm going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain, oh yeah To wear that ball and chain, oh yeah To wear that ball and chain Oh yeah
