There is a house in New Orleans
It´s called the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many man
And God I know I'm one!

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my old blue jeans
My father was a gambler
Down in New Orleans...

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

Well,
I got one foot on the station
The other foot in the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain...

Well,
I got one foot on the station
The other foot is in the train
Yeah, I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain...
