There is a house in New Orleans,
Am Ethey call the Rising Sun.
Am DAnd it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.
Am DMy mother was a tailor,
Am Esewed my new blue jean.
My father was a gamblin' man,
Am E Amon down in New Orleans.
Am DThe only thing a gambler needs,
is a suitcase and trunk.
Am DAnd the only time, he'll be satisfied,
Am E Amis when he's all a drunk.
Got one foot on the platform.
Am EThe other foot on the train.
Am DI'm going back to New Orleans,
to wear that ball and chain.
Am DOh! mother, tell your children,
Am ENot to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
Am E AmIn the House of the Rising Sun.
Am DWell, there is a house in New Orleans,
They call the Rising Sun,
Am DAnd it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
Am E Amand God, I know I'm one. (3v.)
