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