(Alan Price - arr. Waylon Jennings) There is a house down in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun It's been the ruin of many poor boys and me Oh God, I'm one. My mother was a taylor She sowed these old blue jeans My father was a gambler Lord, down in New Orleans. The only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk 'Cause the only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a drunk. Mothers tell you children Not to do the the things I've done Outshine that house down in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun. I've got one foot on the platform The other foots on the train I'm going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain. There is a house down in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun It's been the ruin of many poor boys and me Oh God, I'm one... |
