House Of The Rising Sun (Album Version)

House Of The Rising Sun William Hoton

[03:00.00][01:20.00][00:46.00][00:12.00]

There is a house in New Orleans

[00:20.00]They call the Rising Sun

[00:26.00]And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

[00:32.00]And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

My father was a gambling man

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

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

Well, I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
