House of the Rising Sun 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 Im one My mother was a tailor She sewed my new bluejeans 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 hes satisfied Is when hes 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, I got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train Im goin 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 poor boy And God I know Im one. https://youtube/watch?v=lT3rJz4jSQQ
