She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

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
