There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.
Interlude:
My mother was a tailor.
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Or-leans.
Interlude:
Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satis-fied
Is when he's on a drunk
Interlude:
Organ Solo - For about 12- 16 bars -
Oh, Mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the risin' sun.
Interlude:
Well, I've got one foot on the platform.
the other foot on the train.
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.
Interlude:
Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
And God, I know I'm one.

By the fingerpicking, the E chords should be E7, but taking that into account, this is the best one I've found! Sounds excellent!
