| There is a house in New Orleans, | |
| they call the Rising Sun, | |
| and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, | |
| and God, I know, I'm one. | |
| My mother was a tailor, | |
| sewed my new blue jeans, | |
| my father was a gambling man, | |
| down in New Orleans. | |
| Now the only thing a gambler needs, | |
| is a suitcase and a trunk | |
| and the only time, he'll be satisfied, is when | |
| he's on a drunk. | |
| Oh mother, tell your children, | |
| Not to do what I have done | |
| Spend your lives in sin and misery, | |
| In the House of the Rising Sun | |
| Well, I got one foot on the platform, | |
| The other foot on the train, | |
| I'm going back to New Orleans, | |
| To wear that ball and chain. | |
| Well, there is a house in New Orleans, | |
| They call the Rising Sun | |
| And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy, | |
| And God, I know, I'm one. |
