Lyrics

[00:12.87] There is a house in New Orleans
[00:19.11] They call the Rising Sun
[00:25.26] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[00:30.27] And God I know I'm one
[00:47.04] My mother was a tailor
[00:53.34] She sewed my new blue jeans
[00:59.52] My father was a gamblin' man
[01:06.27] Down in New Orleans
[01:21.42] Now the only thing a gambler needs
[01:27.54] Is a suitcase and trunk
[01:33.84] And the only time he's satisfied
[01:40.02] Is when he's on a drunk
[02:30.09] Oh mother tell your children
[02:36.03] Not to do what I have done
[02:42.54] Spend your lives in sin and misery
[02:48.60] In the House of the Rising Sun
[03:03.72] Well I got one foot on the platform
[03:10.41] The other foot on the train
[03:16.62] I'm goin' back to New Orleans
[03:22.95] To wear that ball and chain
[03:38.49] Well there is a house in New Orleans
[03:44.70] They call the Rising Sun
[03:50.94] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[03:57.12] And God I know I'm one
