Title: 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 young 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 |
|
Now the only thing he ever needs |
|
Is a suitcase and a 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 |
|
With one foot on the platform |
|
And the other foot on the train |
|
I know he's back to New Orleans |
|
To wear that ball and chain |
|
Well there is a house in New Orleans |
|
They call the 'Rising Sun' |
|
And its been the ruin of many a young poor boy |
|
And, God, I know I'm one |
