The House of the Rising Sun (Single Version)

There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans

Oh, mother tell your children not to do what I have done
Don't 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
I'm goin' back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God, I know I'm one
