House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

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, down in New Orleans Oh, mothers, tell my baby sister Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun 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 Oh, mothers, tell my baby sister Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun
