Intro:          
 
                        
There is a house in New Orleans, 
                   
They call the Rising Sun 
                                   
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy 
                             
And God, I know, I'm one 
 
                   
My mother was a tailor 
                   
She sewed my new blue jeans 
                        
My father was a gambling man 
                       
Down in New Orleans 
 
 
                       
And the only things a gambler needs 
                   
Is a suitcase and a trunk 
                           
And the only time he's satisfied 
                             
Is when he's all a-drunk 
 
                       
I've got one foot on the platform 
                   
The other foot on the train 
                          
I'm going back to New Orleans 
                             
To wear the ball and chain 
 
                       
So mothers, tell your children 
                   
Not to do what I have done 
                          
Spend your life in sin and misery 
                             
In the house of the Rising Sun 
 
                       
There is a house in New Orleans, 
                       
They call the Rising Sun 
                                   
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy 
                             
And God, I know, I'm one 
                    


Enjoy!
