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
she sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man

down in New Orleans
she sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man

down in New Orleans
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
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
and God I know I'm one
