Lyrics of House of the Rising Sun by Hank Williams, Jr.
verse
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
verse
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
verse
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
verse
Oh 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
verse
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
chorus
Well, 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
Writer(s): Traditional, Eric Burdon
