[D]There [Gm]is a house d[F#]own
[D]in New Or[Gm]leans
They call the rising sun[Dm],
[D]it's [Gm]been the ruin of [D]many poor boys.
[Gm]And me, great God,[D] I'm one[Gm]
[D]Yeah, my mother,[Gm]
well, she's a [D]tailor
She [Gm]sews them new [D]blue jeans, oh yeah
My [Gm]love, well, she's a,
she's [C]a hooker, Lord.
Work[D]s down in New Or[Gm]leans.[D]
And if [Gm]I had listened to
[D]what my mama [Gm]said
Lord, I'd have been at my home today,
[D]oh yeah
But [Gm]be ing such a young

So go [Gm]tell my baby [D]brother
Not [Gm]to do as I have [D]done, oh no
But [Gm]shun that house [C]in [Gm]New Orleans
They call the [D]rising [Gm]sun[G]
[D]It's [Gm]one foot on that [D]platform
And the [Gm]other on [D]the train
I'm [Gm]going back to [G]New Orleans
[Gm]to w[G]ear [D]my ball and chai[G]n.[Gm]
