Buster Poindexter - House of the Rising Sun lyrics

There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one My mother was a tailor She used to sew me new blue jeans And my father was a gambling man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is just his suitcase and a trunk And the only time he is satisfied Was when he was on a drunk So mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun I've got one foot on a platform I've got one foot on a train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one And God, I know I'm one
