HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

 

There is a house in New Orleans they call the rising sun

Its been the ruin of many a poor boy and Lord I know I'm one

 

My mother she's a tailor she sews those new blue jeans

My farher he's a gambling man drinks down in New Orleans

 

My father he's a gambler he goes from town to town

The only time he's satisfied is when he drinks his liquor down

 

Go tell my baby sister never do like I have done

Shun that house in New Orleans they call the rising sun

 

One foot on the platform the other's on the train

I'm going down to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain

 

Going back to New Orleans my race is almost run

I'm going to spend the rest of my life beneath that rising sun
