Intro (0:00)
Verse 1 (0:12)
There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun,
And its been the ruin of many a poor boy,
And God, I know I was one.
Verse 2 (0:45)
My mother was a tailor,
She sewed my new blue jeans,
And my father was a gambling man,
Way down in New Orleans.
Verse 3 (1:18)
And the only thing a gambler needs,
Is a suitcase and a trunk,
And the only time that he’s satisfied
Is when he’s all a-drunk.
Solo (1:53)
Verse 4 (2:26)
Oh mother ; tell your children,
Not to do what I have done,
Dont spend your life in sin and misery,
In the house of the Rising Sun.
Verse 5 (2:59)
I’ve got one foot on that platform,
And another on that train,
And I’m going back to New Orleans,
To wear that ball and chain.
Verse 6 (3:32)
There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun,
And its been the ruin of many a poor boy,
And God, I know I was one.
