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.
My father was a gamblin' man,
Down in new orleans.
And the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all 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 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
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.
