Elle McKenzie and Traditional - House of the Rising Sun (Unplugged)

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
cnd it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
cnd God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
cnd the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a trump
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
Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
cnd it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
cnd God, I know I'm one
