House of the Rising Sun
of many a poor child
Well there is a house
Spend your lives
There is a house in New Orleans
they call the Rising Sun
in sin and misery
And it's been the ruin
of many a poor child
in New Orleans
In the House of the Rising Sun
And I Oh Lord am one
My mother was a tailor
Well I got one foot
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
And I--Oh Lord--am one
they call the Rising Sun
on the platform
Drinks down in New Orleans
Now the only thing
The other foot on the train
a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And it's been the ruin
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's gone and drunk
To wear that ball and chain
Oh mother--tel
l your children
Not to do what I have done
