Lyrics

[00:14.50] There is a house in New Orleans
[00:20.47] They call the Rising Sun
[00:26.24] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[00:32.43] And God I know I'm one
[00:48.38] My mother was a tailor
[00:54.78] She sewed my new blue jeans
[01:00.72] My father was a gambling man
[01:07.14] Down in New Orleans
[01:22.50] Now the only thing a gambler needs
[01:28.54] Is a suitcase and trunk
[01:34.53] And the only time he's satisfied
[01:40.87] Is when he's on a drunk
[02:29.41] Oh mother, tell your children
[02:35.34] Not to do what I have done
[02:42.06] Spend your lives in sin and misery
[02:47.34] In the House of the Rising Sun
[03:02.38] Well, I got one foot on the platform
[03:08.89] The other foot on the train
[03:15.37] I'm going back to New Orleans
[03:20.69] To wear that ball and chain
[03:35.78] Well, there is a house in New Orleans
[03:41.96] They call the Rising Sun
[03:47.89] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[03:53.68] And God I know I'm one
