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
and My daddy was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and is trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Oh mother Oh mother 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
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
