Lyrics:

There is a house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And god I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambl-in man
Down in new orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Mother tell your children
not to do what I have done
spend your life in missury
in the house the rising sun

Well, it's one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to new orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And god I know I'm one
