House Of The Risin Lyrics

song lyrics House Of The Risin Sun lyrics 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. My mother was a tailor, she sowed these new blue jeans My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord, down in New Orleans. 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. 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 . Oh tell my baby sister not to do what I have done But shun that house in New Orleans they call the rising sun. 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. 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. 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. song lyrics
