House of The Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the Risin' Sun

and it's been a ruin of many poor girls

Emi B7 Emi

and she's alone she's one.

My mother she was a tailor

she sewed the new blue jeans

her husband was a gamblin' man

drift out in New Orleans.

Her husband was a gambler

he coursed from town to town

his only time beein' satisfied

when he was drinkin' Black and White.

Oh tell you baby-sitter

never do like she have done

shone like house in New Orleans

they call the Risin' Sun.

One feet on the platform

and other on the train

she's goin' down to New Orleans

to wear that ball and chain.

Goin' back goin' back to New Orleans

goin' back where she have done

she goes to spend the rest of the love

beneath the Risin' Sun.

There is a house in New Orleans

they call the Risin' Sun

and it's been a ruin of many poor girls

and she's alone she's one.
