The House OF The Rising Sun

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 gambling¹ 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.
