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 woman |
| And God only knows I know I’m one, yeah |
| My mother she worked for nothing |
| She sewed my new blue jeans |
| And my father was a gambling man |
| Down in New Orleans |
| Now you could be a stranger |
| A prophet or a king |
| And still they’ll leave you dying down there |
| Down in New Orleans |
| Now the only thing a gambler needs |
| Is a suitcase and trunk |
| And the only time he’s satisfied |
| Is when he’s on a drunk |
| Well mother, tell your children |
| Not to do what I have done |
| Spend your lives in sin and misery |
| In the House of the Rising Sun |
| Well, I got one foot on the platform, yeah |
| The other foot on the train |
| I’m going back to New Orleans |
| To wear that ball and chain |
| Now there is, there’s a house in New Orleans |
| They call the Rising Sun, oh |
| And it’s been, been the ruin of many a poor woman |
| And God only knows I know I’m one, yes |
| And God only knows I know I’m one |
