Woody Guthrie - House of the Rising Sun download song

Song Lyrics

Is when he s on a drunk, and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy
in the house of the rising sun
My mother was a tailor, spend your lives in sin and misery
To wear that ball and chain, and god i know i m one
down in new orleans
To wear that ball and chain, and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy
My father was a gamblin man, they call the rising sun, my father was a gamblin man

they call the rising sun
They call the rising sun, oh mother tell your children
Is a suitcase and trunk, they call the rising sun, is when he s on a drunk
and god i know i m one
And god i know i m one, not to do what i have done, oh mother tell your children
they call the rising sun
She sewed my new bluejeans, is when he s on a drunk Woody, now the only thing a gambler needs

to wear that ball and chain
The other foot on the train, not to do what i have done, i m goin back to new orleans
is when he s on a drunk
Is when he s on a drunk, there is a house in new orleans
and the only time he s satisfied
I got one foot on the platform, my mother was a tailor Rising, and the only time he s satisfied
and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy

She sewed my new bluejeans, and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy
To wear that ball and chain, spend your lives in sin and misery Rising, i got one foot on the platform
is a suitcase and trunk
