Bob Walsh House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother she was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My daddy, daddy was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing That a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

------ organ solo ------

Oh mother tell your children Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

One foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I believe I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Oh, God I know I'm one
Oh, God I know I'm one
I Saaid god I am one
