CONWAY TWITTY
"The House Of The Rising Sun"
(Traditional)

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

My mother was a tailor, boys
She sewed my old blue jeans
My daddy was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans

I got one foot on the platform, boys
The other on that train
I'm going down to New Orleans
To pull 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 boy
And, Lord, I know I'm one

In the house of the Rising Sun
