VERSE
They call the rising sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
VERSE
My father was a gamblin' man
VERSE
Now the only thing a gambler needs
And the only time he's satisfied

VERSE
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.
VERSE
Well, I got one foot on the
New Orleans to wear that ball and chain
VERSE
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
