 Intro: Am  C  Dm  F  Am  Em  Am  
 
       Am   C             Dm     F
 
 There is a house down in New Orleans
 
      Am       C      Em
 
 They call the Risin' Sun
 
          Am       C       Dm        F
 
 And it's been the ruin of many poor girl
 
     Am     Em         Am    C  Dm  F  Em  
 
 And me, oh God, I'm a-one
 
  
 
 2)
 
 My mother was a taylor
 
 She sewed these new blue jeans
 
 My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord
 
 Down in New Orleans
 
  
 
 3)
 
 Now the only thing a gambler needs
 
 Is a suitcase and a trunk
 
 And the only time he's satisfied
 
 Is when he's on a drunk
 
  
 
 4)
 
 He fills his glasses up to the brim
 
 And he'll pace the cards around
 
 And the only pleasure he gets out of life
 
 Is ramblin' from town to town
 
  
 
 5)
 
 Oh tell my baby sister
 
 Not to do as I have done
 
 But to shun that house in New Orleans
 
 They call the Risin' Sun
 
  
 
 6)
 
 Well, it's one foot on the platform
 
 And the other foot on the train
 
 I'm goin' back to New Orleans
 
 To wear that ball and chain
 
  
 
 7)
 
 I'm a-goin' back to New Orleans
 
 My race is almost run
 
 I'm goin' back to end my life
 
 Down in the Risin' Sun
 
  
 
 8)
 
 There is a house in New Orleans
 
 They call the Risin' Sun
 
 It's been the ruin of many poor girl
 
 And me, oh God, Im a-one
