There is a house

In New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin

Of many a poor boy
In God I know I'm one
(Instrumental Break)
My mother was a tailor

She sewed my
New blue ieans
My father was

A gambling man
Down in New Orleans
(Instrumental Break)
Now the only 1hing
A gambler needs

Is a suitcase

And a trunk
And the only time

That he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
(Instrumental Break)
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
(Instrumental Break)
Well I got one toot
On the plattorm

The other toot
On the train
I'm going back
To New Orleans

To wear that ball
And chain
(Instrumental Break)
There is a house

In New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin

Of many a poor boy
In God I know I'm one
