The House Of The Rising Sun

The House of the Rising Sun - Pip

Written by：Traditional

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 bluejeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children

Not to do what I have donea

Spend your lives in sin and misery

In the house of the rising sun

Well I 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

Well 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

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one
