House of the Rising Sun (Rerecorded) |
| 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 bluejeans |
| My father was a gamblin' man |
| 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 |
| ------ organ solo ------ |
| Oh 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 |
| The other foot on the train |
| I’m goin' back to New Orleans |
| To wear that ball and chain |
| Well, 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… |
