Oceans of Slumber - House of the Rising Sun lyrics

[Oceans of Slumber - House of the Rising Sun lyrics]

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God, I know, I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans


Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

I 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

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And God, I know, I'm one

Well, there is a house in Nеw Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been thе ruin of many a poor girl
And God, I know, I'm one
