lyrics

AmThere is a Chouse in DNew Orleans
They Fcall the AmRising CSun
And it's Ambeen the Cruin of Dmany a poor boy
And FGod I Amknow I'm E7one

AmMy mother Cwas a Dtailor
She Fsewed my Amnew blue Cjeans
My Amfather was a Cgambling Dman
Down in FNew Or-Amleans E7

AmNow the Conly thing a Dgambler needs
Is a Fsuitcase Amand a Ctrunk
And the Amonly time he's Csatis-Dfied
Is when he's Fon a Amdrunk E7

AmOh Cmother Dtell your children
Not to Fdo what AmI have Cdone
Spend your Amlives in Csin and Dmisery
In the FHouse of the AmRising E7Sun

AmWell I got Cone foot on the Dplatform
The Fother foot Amon the Ctrain
I'm Amgoing back to CNew Or-Dleans
To Fwear that Amball and E7chain

AmThere is a Chouse in DNew Orleans
They Fcall the AmRising CSun
And it's Ambeen the Cruin of Dmany a poor boy
And FGod I Amknow I'm E7one
