Lyrics The House of the Rising Sun (The Voice Performance) - Jacquie Lee
There
is
a
house
in
New
Orleans
They
call
the
Rising
Sun
And
it's
been
the
ruin
of
many
a
poor
boy
And
God
I
know
I'm
one
My
mother
was
a
tailor
She
sewed
my
new
blue
jeans
And
my
daddy
was
a
gambling
man
Way
down
in
New
Orleans
Hey,
now
The
only
thing
a
gambler
needs
Is
a
suitcase
and
his
trunk,
hey
yeah
And
the
only
time
he's
satisfied
Is
when
he's
all,
all
drunk
Oh
mother,
oh
mother,
oh
mother
Tell
your
children
Not
to
do
what
I
have
done,
oh-oh-oh-oh
Spend
your
life
in
sin
and
misery
In
the
house
of
the
rising
sun
Well,
I've
got
one
foot
on
the
platform,
and
And
the
other
on
the
train
Yeah,
I'm
going
back
to
New
Orleans
To
wear
that
ball
and
chain
Well,
there
is
a
house
in
New
Orleans
They
call
the
Rising
Sun
And
it's
been
a
ruin
of
many
a
poor
boy
And
God
I
know
I'm
one
