Rising Sun Lyrics & Tabs by Snakefarm
Rising Sun
guitar chords lyrics
One foot is on the platform
And one foot is on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To where that ball and chain
If I had listened to what mama said
I'd be at home today
But I was so young and foolish, Lord
I let a gambler lead me astray
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Way down in New Orleans
Go tell my baby sister
Not to do like I have done
She'll spend her life in sheer misery
Go tell my baby sister
Not to do like I have done
She'll spend her life in sheer misery
In the house of the rising sun
I'm going back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to spend the rest of my life
Beneath the rising sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call 'The Rising Sun'
It's been the ruin of many a
And me, I know I'm one
