There is a house in New Orleans

They call the House of the Rising Sun - oh yeah

And I want you to know it's been the ruin of many, many, many a poor boy - yeah

Lord ohhhh Lord I know I'm the one - yeah

Yes I'm one

Well, I got one foot on the platform

One foot on the platform

The other foot on the train - yeah

I'm goin' back, i'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain - yeah yeah

Oh mother tell your sons

Tell your sons

Exactly what I have done

I spent my life in misery

Ohh in the House of the Rising Sun - hey- oohhhh

House of the Rising Sun

Rising.
