And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

My mother was a tailor she sewed my new blue jeans
Am C D F Am E7 Am-E7
My father was a gamblin' man down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
Am C D F Am E7 Am-E7
And the only time hes satisfied is when hes on a drunk
Am C D-F Am C E7
Oh mother tell your children not to do what I have done
Am C D F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
Am E7 Am-E7
In the house of the Rising Sun
Am C D-F
Well I got one foot on the platform
Am C E7
And the other foot on the train
Am C D F
Im going back to New Orleans
Am E7 Am-E7
To wear that ball and chain
