House of the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
My mother she's a tailor
She sews those new bluejeans
My father he's 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 ever satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do as I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God I know I'm one
