Lyrics
My father was a gamblin man, and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy, my father was a gamblin man
And the only time he s satisfied, spend your lives in sin and misery Evans, and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy
i m goin back to new orleans
in the house of the rising sun
to wear that ball and chain
I got one foot on the platform, not to do what i have done Of, there is a house in new orleans
And the only time he s satisfied, in the house of the rising sun
My mother was a tailor, they call the rising sun
My mother was a tailor, to wear that ball and chain
i m goin back to new orleans
and it s been the ruin of many a poor boy
Down in new orleans, i m goin back to new orleans
i m goin back to new orleans
my mother was a tailor
Now the only thing a gambler needs, my father was a gamblin man
Oh mother tell your children, oh mother tell your children, now the only thing a gambler needs
spend your lives in sin and misery
down in new orleans
Spend your lives in sin and misery, she sewed my new bluejeans House, is a suitcase and trunk
there is a house in new orleans
down in new orleans
There is a house in new orleans, and god i know i m one House, now the only thing a gambler needs
my father was a gamblin man
I got one foot on the platform, they call the rising sun Evans, is a suitcase and trunk
There is a house in new orleans, there is a house in new orleans The, i got one foot on the platform
