There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising
Sun
It has been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh, God, was one
My mother
was a tailor,
She sewed them new blue jeans.
My lover he was a gambler, Oh
Lord
Gambled down in New Orleans.
My husband, he was a gambling man
He
went from town to town;
And the only time he was satisfied
Was when he drank his liquor
down.
Now the only thing a gambling man needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk;
And
the only time he's ever satisfied
I when he's on a drunk
Go and tell my baby
sister
Never do like I have done,
But to shun that house in New Orleans
That they
call the Rising Sun
With one foot on the platform,
And one foot on the
train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear the ball and chain.
I'm going back
to New Orleans
My race is almost run;
I'm going back to spend the rest of my
life
Beneath that Rising Sun.
The Weavers
The sign of the rising sun was
simply a red lantern.
