Sinad O'Connor — The House of the Rising Sun

[Chorus] There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy and me And God I know I'm one [Verse 1] My mother was a tailoress She sowed my blue, blue jeans My father was a gambling man Down in New Orleans [Verse 2] Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk, oh And the only time that he's satisfied Is when he's down and drunk [Verse 3] So mothers tell, tell your children Not to do what I have done Not to spend their lives in sin and misery In the House of the Rising Sun [Verse 4] I got one foot on the platform And another one on the train I'm goin' home to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain [Chorus] There is a house in New Orleans That they call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin for many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one [Outro] Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy Poor, poor boy
