There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun

My mother was a tailor.
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Or-leans.

Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satis-fied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh, Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the risin' sun.

Well, I've 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.
