- 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.
