E        Am  C        D
  There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

My mother was a tailor
       Am    C        E7
She sewed my new blue jeans
   Am     C     D        F
My father was a gamblin' man
Am      E   Am
Down in New Orleans

E         Am   C       D       F
  Now the only thing a gambler needs
   Am         C     E7
Is a suitcase and a trunk
        Am   C         D     F
And the only time he's satisfied
   Am        E    Am
Is when he's on a drunk

  Oh mother, tell your children
       Am      C      E7
Not to do what I have done
Am         C        D       F
Spend your lives in sin and misery
       Am           E      Am
In the House of the Rising Sun

The other on the train
