lyrics

House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans
it´s called the rising sun
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 blue jeans
my father was a gambling man
down in New Orleans

The only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk
the only time he´ll be satisfied
is when he´s all drunk

O mother tell your children
not to do what I have done
spent my life in sin and misery
in the house of the rising sun

With one foot on the platform
but the other foot on the train
I´m coming home from New Orleans
I kicked the ball and chain
I kicked the ball and chain
