House Of The Rising Sun lyrics
There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
And it s been the ruin of many poor boys and Lord I know I m one
My mother she was a tailor she sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambler way down in New Orleans
The only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he ll be satisfied is when he s on a drunk
There is a house in New Orleans...
[ dobro ]
Poor mother go tell all your children not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the Rising Sun
Well I got one foot on the black farm the other foot on a train
I m goin back to New Orleans wear that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans...
Yes Lord I know I m one
