Intro: Am  C  D  F  Am  E  Am    

      Am   C             D     F  
There is a house down in New Orleans  

     Am       C      E  
They call the Risin' Sun  

         Am       C       D        F  
And it's been the ruin of many poor girl  

    Am     E          Am    C  D  F  E  
And me, oh God, I'm a-one  

2)  
My mother was a taylor  
She sewed these new blue jeans  
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord  
Down in New Orleans  

3)  
Now the only thing a gambler needs  
Is a suitcase and a trunk  
And the only time he's satisfied  
Is when he's on a drunk  

4)  
He fills his glasses up to the brim  
And he'll pace the cards around  
And the only pleasure he gets out of life  
Is ramblin' from town to town  

5)  
Oh tell my baby sister  
Not to do as I have done  
But to shun that house in New Orleans  
They call the Risin' Sun  

6)  
Well, it's one foot on the platform  
And the other foot on the train  
I'm goin' back to New Orleans  
To wear that ball and chain  

7)  
I'm a-goin' back to New Orleans  
My race is almost run  
I'm goin' back to end my life  
Down in the Risin' Sun  

8)  
There is a house in New Orleans  
They call the Risin' Sun  
It's been the ruin of many poor girl  
And me, oh God, Im a-one
