    [Am]There is a [C]house in [D]New Orleans [F]
    They [Am]call the [C]Rising [E7]Sun
    And it's [Am]been the [C]ruin of [D]many a poor [F]boy
    And [Am]God, I [E7]know, I'm [Am]one

    My mother was a tailor
    She sewed my new bluejeans
    My father was a gamblin' man
    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
  

  
    Oh mother tell your children
    Not to do what I have done
    Spend your lives in sin and misery
    In the House of the Rising Sun

    The other foot on the train
    I'm goin' back to New Orleans
    To wear that ball and chain

    They call the Rising Sun
    And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    And God I know I'm one
