clare maguire - house of the rising sun lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
there is a house in new orleans
they call the rising sun
and it’s been the ruin of many a poor woman
and god only knows i know i’m one, yeah

[verse 1]
my mother she worked for nothing
she sewed my new blue jeans
and my father was a gambling man
down in new orleans

[verse 2]
now you could be a stranger
a prophet or a king
and still they’ll leave you dying down there
down in new orleans

[verse 3]
now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and trunk
and the only time he’s satisfied
is when he’s on a drunk

[verse 4]
well 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

[verse 5]
well, i got one foot on the platform, yeah
the other foot on the train
i’m going back to new orleans
to wear that ball and chain

[chorus]
now there is, there’s a house in new orleans
they call the rising sun, oh
and it’s been, been the ruin of many a poor woman
and god only knows i know i’m one, yes
and god only knows i know i’m one
