lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And me, I used to be one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
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

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, It's one foot on the platform
The other on the subway train
I'm stayin' here in New York City
Away from that ball and chain
