There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and Lord I know I'm one



My mother was a talor boys she sowed my old blue jeans

My daddy was a gambling man way down in New Orleans

[ steel ]

I got one foot on the platform boys the other on that train

I'm going down to New Orlewns to pull that ball and chain

There is a house...

In the house of the Rising Sun
