        (chorus
            "There is, a house, in New Orleans.
            They call, the Ri-sing Sun.
            And it’s been, the ruin, of many a, poor boy.
            And God, I know, I’m one.")

        (verse
            "My mother, was, a tailor.
            She sewed, my new, blue jeans.
            My fa-ther was, a gam-blin’ man.
            Down, in New, Orleans.")

        (verse
            "Now the on-ly thing, a gam-bler needs.
            Is a suit-case and, a trunk.
            And the on-ly time, he’s, satisfied.
            Is when, he’s on, a drug.")

            "Oh mothers, tell your children,
            Not to do, what I, have done.
            Spend, your lives, in sin, and misery.
            In the House, of the Ri-sing Sun.")

        (verse
            "Well, I got one, foot on, the platform.
            The o-ther foot on, the train.
            I’m go-in’ back, to New Or-leans.
            To wear, that ball, and chain.")
