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...

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