[Verse 1]
Am C D F
There is a house down in New Orleans
Am C E
They call the Rising Sun
Am C D F
And it's been the ruin of a many poor boy
Am E Am
And me, oh God, I'm one
[Verse 2]
Am C D F
Mamma, she worked for a tailor man
Am C E
She sewed all my new blue jeans
Am C D F
And my daddy was a gamblin' man
Am E Am
In the town of old New Orleans

[Verse 3]
Am C D F
The only thing that a rounder ever needs
Am C E
Is a suitcase or a trunk
Am C D F
And the only time he's ever satisfied
Am E Am
Is when he's on a drunk
[Verse 4]
Am C D F
Boys fill up your glasses right to the brim
Am C E
Let the drinks flow merrily round
Am C D F
And we'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy
Am E Am
Who rambles from town to town
[Verse 5]
Am C D F
Now fellas don't believe what a bad woman tells you
Am C E
Though her eyes be blue or brown
Am C D F
Unless she's standing on some old scaffold high
Am E Am
Saying "Fellas they won't let me come down"
[Instrumental]
Am C D F Am C E
