Lyrics

There is a house in new orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor boys and lord I know I'm one

My mother she was a taylor she sowed my new blue jeans
My father he was a gambler way down in new orleans
The only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied is when he's all a drunk
There is a house in new orleans..
[ dobro ]
Poor mother go tell all your children not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery in a house of the rising sun
Well I got one foot on the black farm the other foot on a train
I'm goin' back to new orleans wear that ball and chain
There is a house in new orleans..
Yes lord I know I'm one
