THE HOUSE OF
By Alan Price
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Verse 1
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 2
MY MOTHER WAS A TAILOR,
SEWED MY NEW BLUE JEANS,
MY FATHER WAS A GAMBLIN’ MAN,
DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS,
Verse 3
NOW THE ONLY THING A GAMBLER NEEDS
IS A SUITCASE AND A TRUNK,
AND THE ONLY TIME HE’LL BE SATISFIED....
IS WHEN HE’S ALL A-DRUNK,
Verse 4
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 5
WELL, I’VE GOT ONE FOOT ON THE PLATFORM,
THE OTHER FOOT ON THE TRAIN,
I’M GOING BACK TO NEW ORLEANS....
TO WEAR THAT BALL AND CHAIN,
Verse 6
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.
THE RISING SUN
