There is a house in New Orleans, they call The Rising Sun With women, drink, and gambling, there's something for everyone My father was a gambler, down in New Orleans He knew every angle, and near always got away clean I grew up to play chances, willing to take a game Like my father I cheated, we were so much the same Folks played with me and chased me from Arkansas to Houston Though it was my father's town, I set up in The Rising Sun It was hours and hours of winning, nights of success there Then one night in The Rising Sun, my father pulled up a chair We both knew what we were doing, we truly gave it our all With every chip on the table, time to make his last call I laid my cards on that worn-out felt: four queens saying how do you do Four of his queens then joined them. He had cheated too Now when it comes to a courtroom, they say justice is blind Young men favored at pistols, leastways, that's what I find I was the last one standing, it was the Sheriff who won He took all of my winnings, banned me from the Rising Sun I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train My father dead, and empty pockets, I must seek a new game There is a house in New Orleans, they call The Rising Sun Women, drink, and killing, there's something for everyone
