There is a house in new orleans

They call the house of the rising sun

And I want you to know it's been the ruin of many

Many many a poor boy

Lord ohhhh lord I know I'm the one

Yes I'm one

Well I got one foot on the platform

One foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back I'm going back to new orleans

To wear that ball and chain

Oh mother tell your sons

Tell your sons

Exactly what

Exactly what I have done

I spent my life in misery

Ohh in the house of the rising sun

House of the rising sun

Rising
