LYRICS
\nThere is a house in New Orleans
\nThey call the Rising Sun
\nAnd it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
\nAnd God I know I’m one<\/p>\n
My mother was a tailor
\nSewed my new blue jeans
\nMy father was a gamblin’ man
\nDown in New Orleans<\/p>\n
Now the only thing a gambler needs
\nIs a suitcase and trunk
\nAnd the only time he’s satisfied
\nIs when he’s on a drunk<\/p>\n
Oh mother, tell your children
\nNot to do what I have done
\nSpend your lives in sin and misery
\nIn the House of the Rising Sun<\/p>\n
Well, I got one foot on the platform
\nThe other foot on the train
\nI’m goin’ back to New Orleans
\nTo wear that ball and chain<\/p>\n
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
\nThey call the Rising Sun
\nAnd it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
\nAnd God I know I’m one<\/p>\n
