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

        Am
My mother was a tailor
        C
She sewed my new blue jeans
        D
My father was a gamblin' man
        F                Am
Down in New Orleans

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

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

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

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