Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Pink Floyd - House Of The Rising Sun ------------------------------------------ There is a house in New Orleans, they call the rising sun. And it's been the ruin of many young, poor boys. And God, I know I'm one. My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans. My father was a gambling man, down in New Orleans. Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk. And the only time he is satisfied is when he's cold and drunk. Oh, mother, tell your children not to do what I have done. Spend your life concealed in misery in the house of the rising sun. Well I got one foot on the platform the other foot on the train. I'm going 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 young, poor boys. And God, I know I'm one.
