Rising Sun Blues

from On The Blue Side by Dusty Woods

/

about

Now there is a house in New Orleans.... House of the Rising Sun as an extended slow jazz-blues waltz. Smokin' lead guitar and atmospheric yet understated vocal.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Now there is a house in New Orleans
They call it the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know that I'm one

Verse 2
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My daddy was, he was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

Verse 3
You know the only thing that a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's ever really satisfied
Is when he's on, on a drunk

Verse 4
I got one foot on the platform
Got the other foot right on the train
Lord, I'm going back, I'm going back down to New Orleans
I'm going to wear that ball and chain

Verse 5
So mothers, tell your children, tell them all
Not to do what I, I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Reprise
Now, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know, I know I'm one
