**Lyrics:**
      Am          C
There is a house in New Orleans
         D               F
They call the Rising Sun
     Am               E
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
      Am        E         Am
And God, I know I'm one

      Am               C
My mother was a tailor
          D              F
She sewed my new blue jeans
     Am              E
My sweetheart was a gambling man
      Am        E         Am
Down in New Orleans

      Am               C
Now the only thing a gambler needs
         D               F
Is a suitcase and a trunk
     Am               E
And the only time he's satisfied
      Am        E         Am
Is when he's on a drunk

      Am                C
Oh, mother, tell your children
        D              F
Not to do what I have done
     Am               E
Spend your lives in sin and misery
      Am        E         Am
In the house of the Rising Sun

      Am               C
Well, I got one foot on the platform
      D                 F
The other foot on the train
     Am               E
I'm going back to New Orleans
      Am        E         Am
To wear that ball and chain

      Am               C
There is a house in New Orleans
         D               F
They call the Rising Sun
     Am               E
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
      Am        E         Am
And God, I know I'm one
