HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN TRAD
Am C D F
There is a house in New Orleans,
Am C E
They call the Rising Sun
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of many a po' girl
Am E Am C D F C E
And me, Oh God, I'm one
My mother was a tailor, she sewed my 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 he's satisfied, is when he's on a drunk
He fills his glass up to the brim, and he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets outa life, is ramblin from town to town
Go tell my baby sister, not to do what I have done
But to shun that house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun
Well it's one foot on the platform and the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain
Well I'm goin' back to New Orleans, my race is almost run
I'm goin' 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 po' girl and me, Oh God, I'm one
