House of the rising sun

020        300      500        800
There is a house in New Orleans
020           300    700 703
They call the Rising Sun
020               300     500         800
And It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
020        700       020   300 500 800 020 700 020 700
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

And the only things a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a-drunk

I've got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear the ball and chain

So mothers, tell your children
Mot to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun
