There is a house in New Orleans,

They call it 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 thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk.

And the only time he is satisfied

Is when he`s down and drunk.

So mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the House of a Rising sun.

Well I`ve got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train.

I?m going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain.

There is a house in New Orleans,

They call it Rising Sun.

And it`s been the ruin of many a poor boy,

And God, I know I`m one.
