Lyrics
House Of The Rising Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Sewed my new blue jeans
Daddy was a gambling' man
(Down, in new or ah)
Way down in New Orleans
The one and only thing a gambler ever has
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The one and only time a gambler's satisfied, is when
When he's on a drunk
(So now)
Mothers tell your children, yeah
Not to do what I've done
Spend your life in fear and misery
In the house of the rising Sun
Well, I've got one foot on the platform, yeah
The other's 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 the rising Sun)
They call the rising Sun
(And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy)
Many a poor boy
(And God, I know I'm one)
And God, I know I'm one
(And God, I know I'm one)
In the house of the rising Sun
(In the house of the rising)
