  • House of the Rising Sun Walls of Jericho Redemption EP

  • 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'm one.

  • My mother was a tailor,

  • She sewed my new bluejeans,

  • My father was a gamblin man,

  • Down in New Orleans.

  • Now the only thing a gambler needs,

  • Is a suitcase and gun,

  • And the only time that he is satisfied,

  • Is when he's on the run.

  • Oh mother tell your children,

  • Not to do what I have done,

  • Spend your life in sin and misery,

  • In the house of the Rising Sun.

  • Well I got one foot on the platform,

  • The other foot on the train,

  • I'm going back to New Orleans,

  • To wear that ball and chain.

  • 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'm one.

  • Oh yeah!

  • Oh yeah!
