Lyrics

[00:12.376] There is a house in New Orleans
[00:18.237] They call the Rising Sun
[00:24.517] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[00:30.869] And God I know I'm one
[00:46.813] My mother was a tailor
[00:52.669] She sewed my new blue jeans
[00:58.813] My father was a gambling man
[01:04.877] Down in New Orleans
[01:20.734] Now the only thing a gambler needs
[01:26.541] Is a suitcase and trunk
[01:32.940] And the only time he's satisfied
[01:39.021] Is when he's on a drunk
[02:28.029] Oh mother tell your children
[02:33.108] Not to do what I have done
[02:40.157] Have spend your lives in sin and misery
[02:46.365] In the House of the Rising Sun
[03:01.237] I got one foot on the platform
[03:07.892] The other foot on the train
[03:13.997] I'm going back to New Orleans
[03:19.846] To wear that ball and chain
[03:34.101] Well, there is a house in New Orleans
[03:40.997] They call the Rising Sun
[03:46.997] And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
[03:52.877] And God I know I'm one
