LAm RE
There is a house in New Orleans,
LAm MI
they call the Rising Sun.
LAm RE
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
LAm MI LAm
and God, I know I'm one.
LAm RE
My mother was a tailor,
LAm MI
sewed my new blue jean.
LAm RE
My father was a gamblin' man,
LAm MI LAm
on down in New Orleans.
LAm RE
The only thing a gambler needs,
LAm MI
is a suitcase and trunk.
LAm RE
And the only time, he'll be satisfied,
LAm MI LAm
is when he's all a drunk.
LAm RE
Got one foot on the platform.
LAm MI
The other foot on the train.
LAm RE
I'm going back to New Orleans,
LAm MI LAm
to wear that ball and chain.
LAm RE
Oh! mother, tell your children,
LAm MI
Not to do what I have done.
LAm RE
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
LAm MI LAm
In the House of the Rising Sun.
LAm RE
Well, there is a house in New Orleans,
LAm MI
They call the Rising Sun,
LAm RE
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
LAm MI LAm
and God, I know I'm one. (3v.)
