Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin
of many a poor boy
And God I know I am one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing
a gambler needs

is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time
he's satisfied

Is when he's all a drunk
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done

Spend your lives in
sin and misery
In the house of

the Rising Sun
Now one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train

I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
Well there is a house

in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin

of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
