The House OF The Rising Sun
[00:14]There is a house in New Orleans,
[00:20]they call the "Rising Sun",
[00:26]and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
[00:32]and God, I know, I'm one.
[00:48]My mother was a tailor,
[00:54]sewed my new blue jeans,
[01:00]my father was a gambling man,
[01:06]down in New Orleans.
[01:22]Now the only thing a gambler needs,
[01:28]is a suitcase and a trunk
[01:33]and the only time, he'll be satisfied, is when
[01:41]he's on a drunk.
[02:29]Oh mother, tell your children,
[02:35]Not to do what I have done
[02:41]Spend your lives in sin and misery,
[02:47]In the "House of the Rising Sun"
[03:02]Well, I got one foot on the platform,
[03:08]The other foot on the train,
[03:14]I'm going back to New Orleans,
[03:20]To wear that ball and chain.
[03:35]Well, there is a house in New Orleans,
[03:41]They call the "Rising Sun",
[03:47]And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
[03:53]And God, I know, I'm one.
