There is a house in New Orleans
They call the House of the Rising Sun - oh yeah
And I want you to know it's been the ruin of many, many, many a poor boy - yeah
Lord ohhhh Lord I know I'm the one - yeah
Yes I'm one

Well, I got one foot on the platform
One foot on the platform
The other foot on the train - yeah

To wear that ball and chain - yeah yeah

Oh mother tell your sons
Tell your sons
Exactly what I have done
I spent my life in misery
Ohh in the House of the Rising Sun - hey- oohhhh
House of the Rising Sun
