The House Of The Rising Sun

from Grunge Blues Psychedelia by Samuel Blues

/

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 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 a trunk
and the only time he is satisfied
is when he's on a drunk

oh mothers, 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 on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
to wear that ball and chain

Well, 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
please stop breaking down
