House of the Rising Sun Songtext
von Geoff Castellucci

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
Sewed my new blue jeans
Daddy was a gamblin′ man (down)
Way down in New Orleans

The one and only thing a gambler ever has
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The one and only time a gambler's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk


(So now)
Mothers, tell your children, yeah
Not to do what I′ve done
Spend your life in fear and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform, yeah
The other′s on the 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
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
In the house of the Rising Sun...
