There is a house down in New Orleans they call the rising sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I'm one.


[Verse 2]

My mother was a tailor, she sowed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord, down in New Orleans.


[Verse 3]

Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time when he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk.


[Verse 4]

He fills his glasses up to the brim and he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life is rambling from town to town


[Verse 5]

Oh tell my baby sister not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans they call the rising sun.


[Verse 6]

Well with one foot on the platform and the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain.


[Verse 7]

I'm going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run
I'm going back to end my life down in the rising sun.


[Verse 8]

There is a house in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I'm one.
