[Am]
[Dm]
[E] [A]
[Am]
[E] [Am]
There is a house in New Orleans, they call it the rising [A] sun.
It's been the ruin [Dm]
of many poor [A] girls and me, oh [E] God, [F] I'm one.
Yeah, if I'd only listened to what my mama said, I'd be [E] at home [A] today.
Being [Dm] so young and foolish, [Am] I let [G] a gambler [Am] lead me astray.
My mother is a tailor, she sews [E] new blue [A] jeans.
My
[Dm] sweetheart's a [Am] drunkard, drinks down in New Orleans.
The only thing a drunkard man needs is a [B] suitcase and a [A] trunk.
[Dm] Only time he's [Am] satisfied [E] is when [Am] he's on a drunk.
Go tell my baby sister, go tell her she's in [E] Detroit.
[A] Go [Dm] to that house in [Am] New Orleans, they call it the rising sun.
[Em] I'm going [Am] back to New Orleans, my [Em] race is [C] almost won.
[Dm] I'm going [Am] back to spend my life beneath the sun.
Yeah, me now, [Em] beneath the [A] sun.
Yeah, [Dm] yeah, New [Am] Orleans, [E] they call [Am] it the rising sun.

[Am]
[E] Oh, [A] my mama, [Dm] yeah, [Am]
yeah, there is a house in New Orleans, they call [E] it the [A] rising sun.
It's been [Dm] the ruin of many [Am] poor girls and me, oh God, I'm one.
If I'd only listened to what my mama said, I'd be [E] at [A] home today.
In a [Dm] storey house, blue [Am] legs, let her gamble.
Keep me safe, my mama is a preacher, she's [E] whole and [A] she makes her [Dm] sweetheart [Am] [G] be [Am] all drunk.
Run back, my race, [E] [A]
[Dm] I'm going back to spend my [Am] life beneath the rising sun.
