House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in new orleans

They call the risin'sun

And it's been the ruin

Of many a poor boy

In god I know I'm one

OH mother tell your children

Not to do what I have done

Don'tspend your lives

In sin and misery in the house

Of the risin'sun

I've got one foot on the pleatform

The other foot on the train

And I'm goin back To new orleans

To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in new orleans

They call the risin'sun

And it's been the ruin

Of many a poor boy

In god I know In god I know I'm one
