they call the rising sun

she sewed my new blue jeans                

is a suitcase and a trunk                  

the other foot on the train

not to do what I have done                                  

Am            C       D           F        

and It's been the ruin of many a poor boy

my father was a gambling man               

and the only time hes satisfied           

im going back to new orleans              

spend your life in sin and misery          

Am         E         Am    

and God i know im one

down in new orleans                        

is when hes all drunk                   

to wear the ball and chain                 

in the house of the rising sun
