0:13There is a house in New Orleans
0:19They call the Rising Sun
0:25And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
0:31And God I know I'm one
0:47My mother was a tailor
0:53She sewed my new blue jeans
0:59My father was a gamblin' man
1:06Down in New Orleans
1:21Now the only thing a gambler needs
1:27Is a suitcase and trunk
1:33And the only time he's satisfied
1:39Is when he's on a drunk
2:28Oh mother tell your children
2:34Not to do what I have done
2:40Spend your lives in sin and misery
2:46In the House of the Rising Sun
3:01Well I got one foot on the platform
3:08The other foot on the train
3:14I'm goin' back to New Orleans
3:20To wear that ball and chain
3:34Well there is a house in New Orleans
3:41They call the Rising Sun
3:47And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
3:53And God I know I'm one
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 gamblin' man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and trunk And the only time he's 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 I'm goin' 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
