If I'd listened to what mama said 
I'd be home today 
Being so young and foolish
I let a gambler lead me astray 

My mother she's a tailor 
Sews those new blue jeans 
My sweetheart, he's a drunkard
He drinks down in New Orleans

He fills his glasses to the brim 
Passes them around
The only pleasure he gets out of life 
Is a hoboin' from town to town 

The only thing a drunkard needs 
Is a suitcase and a trunk 
The only time he's satisfied   
Is when he's on a drunk

There is a house in New Orleans 
You call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor soul 
And me, oh God, I'm one 

Go and tell my baby sister           
Never do like I have done 
Shun that house down in New Orleans 
That they call that Rising Sun. 

It's one foot on the platform, 
One foot on the train. 
I'm going back down to New Orleans 
To wear my ball and my chain 

My life is almost over    
My race is almost run                                                                        
Going back down to New Orleans 
To that house of the Rising Sun
