There is a house in New Orleans               am    C     D     F

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man

Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied

Spend your life sincere in misery
    ( Spend your lives in sin and misery ? )

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train

To wear that ball and chain

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
