House of the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Oh it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
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
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
Goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, 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
And God, I know I'm one
They call the Rising Sun
Oh it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
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
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
Goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, 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
And God, I know I'm one
