[Chorus}
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor soul
And god, I know I’m one

[Verse]
My mother, she’s a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My lover was a drunkard, oh lord
Right down in New Orleans

[Verse]
My mother begged me not to go
She cried tellin me to stay home
And if I had listened to what mama had said
My lover would’ve drunk alone

[Verse]
Oh mamas, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Convince yourself you love the misеry
In the house of the rising sun

[Guitar solo]
{Vеrse]
I’ve got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m going back to New Orleans
Can’t shake that ball and chain

[Chorus}
Ooh well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor soul
And god, I know I’m one

[Guitar solo]
