House of the Rising Sun, The
May 1st, 2001
There is a house in New Orleans
Em D B7
They call the Rising Sun
Em G Am C
It's been the ruin of many poor boy
Em B7 Em
And me oh Lord am one
My mother is a tailor
She sews them new blue jeans
My father is a gambling man
Down in New Orleans
The only time I seen him
With his suitcase and his trunk
The only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Go tell my baby sister
Not to do what I have done
But to shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor boy
And me oh Lord am one
