There is a house in New Orleans
They call the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boys
Lord, I know, I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambler man
Deep down in New Orleans
(Yeah!)
I got one foot on the platform
I got the other foot on the train
I gotta go down to New Orleans
I gotta wear that ball and chain
((Solo))
I'm goin' to tell my little brother
Sayin' don't you do what I have done
Oh you Spend your life in misery
At the house of the rising sun..there's a house in New Orleans, boy
They call the risin' sun
And It's been the ruin of many poor boys
Lord, I know, I'm one
Lord, I know, I'm one
