Various Artists - House of the Rising Sun (Live) lyrics

There is a house, in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun Its been the ruins of many poor boys And oh god, im one My mother, shes a tailor She sews us new blue jeans My father, hes a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans The only thing a gambler needs A suitcase and a trunk The only time hes ever satisfied Is when hes on a drug I got one foot on the platform Another foot on the train Im goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball & chain Mothers, tell your children Dont do as i have done Dont spend your life in sin and misery In the house of the rising sun There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun Its been the ruins of many poor girls And oh god im one And oh god im one And oh god im one
