[Verse 1]
Am C D F There is a house down in New Orleans Am C E They call the Rising Sun Am C D F And it's been the ruin of a many poor boy Am E Am And me, oh God, I'm one
[Verse 2]
Am C D F Mamma, she worked for a tailor man Am C E She sewed all my new blue jeans Am C D F And my daddy was a gamblin' man Am E Am In the town of old New Orleans

[Verse 3]
Am C D F The only thing that a rounder ever needs Am C E Is a suitcase or a trunk Am C D F And the only time he's ever satisfied Am E Am Is when he's on a drunk
[Verse 4]
Am C D F Boys fill up your glasses right to the brim Am C E Let the drinks flow merrily round Am C D F And we'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy Am E Am Who rambles from town to town
[Verse 5]
Am C D F Now fellas don't believe what a bad woman tells you Am C E Though her eyes be blue or brown Am C D F Unless she's standing on some old scaffold high Am E Am Saying "Fellas they won't let me come down"
[Instrumental]

Am C D F Go tell my youngest brother Am C E Not to do the awful things I've done Am C D F And to shun that old house down in New Orleans Am E Am That they call the Rising Sun
[Verse 7]
Am C D F Soon they'll take me back down to New Orleans Am C E To face all the crimes that I've done Am C D F Then they'll tie me to, an old ball and chain Am E Am Until my earthly race is run
