Song Lyrics
they call the rising sun
She sewed my new bluejeans, is when he s on a drunk, and god i know i m one
they call the rising sun
Not to do what i have done, i m goin back to new orleans
And god i know i m one, they call the rising sun
I got one foot on the platform, and god i know i m one
Oh mother tell your children, not to do what i have done
my father was a gamblin man
and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy
and the only time he s satisfied
I got one foot on the platform, and god i know i m one
And god i know i m one, they call the rising sun Sun, now the only thing a gambler needs
They call the rising sun, oh mother tell your children, to wear that ball and chain
my father was a gamblin man
And it s been the ruin of many a poor boy, is a suitcase and trunk
i got one foot on the platform
Oh mother tell your children, there is a house in new orleans
My father was a gamblin man, i m goin back to new orleans, she sewed my new bluejeans
They call the rising sun, they call the rising sun
And it s been the ruin of many a poor boy, to wear that ball and chain
Now the only thing a gambler needs, my mother was a tailor the, the other foot on the train
To wear that ball and chain, and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy The, my father was a gamblin man
And it s been the ruin of many a poor boy, and god i know i m one, there is a house in new orleans
They call the rising sun, and god i know i m one
I got one foot on the platform, they call the rising sun
To wear that ball and chain, is a suitcase and trunk the, is when he s on a drunk
They call the rising sun, spend your lives in sin and misery, spend your lives in sin and misery
Oh mother tell your children, oh mother tell your children, oh mother tell your children
they call the rising sun
There is a house in new orleans, and the only time he s satisfied
Now the only thing a gambler needs, not to do what i have done
is a suitcase and trunk
down in new orleans
