House Of The Rising Sun – Jerry Garcia

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 blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

The only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk

Oh mothers, tell your children
Don’t do what I have done
And spend your life in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And me, oh Lord, I’m one
And me, oh Lord, I’m one
