My mother was a tailor.


She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Or-leans.

Now, the only thing a gambler needs


Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satis-fied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh, Mother, tell your children


Not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the risin' sun.

Well, I've 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.

Well, there is a house in New Orleans


They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.

C, D, F, Am, E,
Am, D, Am, D, Am,D
