Jimmy & Scots Folk Band - The 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 a poor soul (SOUL)
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a broken old man (BROKEN MAN)
Down in New Orleans
Now go and tell all the children
Never do what I have done
Waste your life in dreams and agony (AGONY)
In the House of the Rising Sun
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other’s on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans (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 a poor soul (SOUL)
And God I know I'm one
