The house of Rising Sun (There is a house in New Orleans)
1) There is a house in New Orleans,
they call the Rising Sun.
Has been the ruin of many poor girl,
and me, oh Lord, I'm one.
2) My mother is a taylor,
sewed my new blue jeans.
My sweetheart is a drunkard, Lord,
down in New Orleans.
3) The only thing a drunkard needs,
ia s suitcase and a trunk,
the only time he's satisfied,
is when he's on a drunk.
4) Oh mother tell your children
not to do what I have done.
And spend their lives in sin an misery
in the house of the Rising Sun.
5) I've one foot on the platform,
the other on the train.
I'm going back to New Orleans
to wear that ball an chain.
6) There is a house in New Orleans,
they call the Rising Sun.
It's been the ruin of many poor girl,
and me, oh Lord, I'm one.
