House of the Rising Sun

Song composer: Amerískt þjóðlag

Lyrics author: Georgia Turner, Bert Martin

	Am	C	D	F
There	is a	house in	New Or	leans,

	Am	C	E	E
They	call the	Rising	Sun,

	Am	C	D	F
And it's	been the	ruin of	many a poor	boy,

	Am	E	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E
And	God, I	know I'm	one.			,

	Am	C	D	F
My	mother	was a	tailor,

	Am	C	E	E
She	sewed my	new blue	jeans.

	Am	C	D	F
My	father	was a	gambling	man,

	Am	E	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E
	Down in	New Or	leans.			,

	Am	C	D	F
And the	only	thing a	gambler	needs,

	Am	C	E	E
Is a	suitcase	and a	trunk,

	Am	C	D	F
And the	only	time he's	satis	fied,

	Am	E	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E
Is	when he's	all a-	drunk.			,

	Am	C	D	F
I've	got one	foot on the	platform,

	Am	C	E	E
The	other foot	on the	train.

	Am	C	D	F
I'm	going	back to	New Or	leans,

	Am	E	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E
To	wear the	ball and	chain.			,

	Am	C	D	F
So	mothers,	tell your	children,

	Am	C	E	E
Not to	do what	I have	done.

	Am	C	D	F
Spend your	life in	sin and	misery,

	Am	E	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E
In the	House of the	Rising	Sun.			,

Rising Sun Blues

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun.

It's been the ruin of many a poor girl,

and me, O God, for one.

If I had listened what Mamma said,

I'd 'a' been at home today.

Being so young and foolish, poor boy,

let a rambler lead me astray.

Go tell my baby sister

never do like I have done

to shun that house in New Orleans

they call the Rising Sun.

My mother she's a tailor;

she sold those new blue jeans.

My sweetheart, he's a drunkard, Lord, Lord,

drinks down in New Orleans.

The only thing a drunkard needs

is a suitcase and a trunk.

The only time he's satisfied

is when he's on a drunk.

Fills his glasses to the brim,

passes them around

only pleasure he gets out of life

is hoboin' from town to town.

One foot is on the platform

and the other one on the train.

I'm going back to New Orleans

to wear that ball and chain.

Going back to New Orleans,

my race is almost run.

Going back to spend the rest of my days

beneath that Rising Sun.

Go back

	rokkarin!!!
