Lyrics

[00:03.180] There is a house in New Orleans
[00:10.910]
[00:11.790] They call the Rising Sun
[00:17.530]
[00:19.530] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[00:27.580] And God I know I'm one
[00:33.770]
[00:35.700] My mother was a tailor
[00:40.880]
[00:42.190] She sewed my new bluejeans
[00:46.750]
[00:49.120] and My daddy was a gamblin' man
[00:55.050]
[00:55.610] Down in New Orleans
[00:59.990]
[01:01.610] Now the only thing a gambler needs
[01:08.290]
[01:09.130] Is a suitcase and is trunk
[01:13.560]
[01:14.680] And the only time he's satisfied
[01:21.360]
[01:22.170] Is when he's on a drunk
[01:27.220]
[01:29.190] Oh mother Oh mother Oh mother tell your children
[01:34.370]
[01:35.490] Not to do what I have done
[01:40.980]
[01:42.600] Spend your lives in sin and misery
[01:48.090]
[01:48.970] In the House of the Rising Sun
[01:53.400]
[01:55.080] Well, I got one foot on the platform
[02:00.080]
[02:01.830] The other foot on the train
[02:07.690]
[02:08.630] I'm goin' back to New Orleans
[02:15.430] To wear that ball and chain
[02:21.170]
[02:35.520] Well, there is a house in New Orleans
[02:42.950]
[02:43.890] They call the Rising Sun
[02:50.120]
[02:51.500] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[02:59.050]
[02:59.920] And God I know I'm one
