[am]There is a h[C]ouse in N[dm]ew Orl[F]eans they c[am]all the ris[C]ing s[E]un.[E7]
It has [am]been the r[C]uin of [dm]many poor g[F]irls, and [am]me, oh G[E]od, I'[E7]m on[am]e.

[am]My mother [C]is a t[dm]ailor, s[F]he s[am]ews my n[C]ew blue je[E]an[E7]s,
my s[am]weetheart i[C]s a d[dm]runkard L[F]ord, drinks d[am]own in N[E]ew O[E7]rlea[am]ns.

Well, the [am]only [C]thing a [dm]drunkard [F]needs is a [am]suitcase [C]and a t[E]run[E7]k
and the [am]only t[C]ime he's [dm]satisf[F]ied is [am]when he's [E]on [E7]a dr[am]unk.

[am]He'll fill his [C]glasses [dm]to the [F]brim and he [am]passes t[C]hem a[E]rou[E7]nd.
And the [am]only p[C]leasure that [dm]he gets out of [F]life is a- [am]ho-boing from to[E]wn
[E7]to t[am]own.

[am]Go tell my [C]baby [dm]sister [F]never to [am]do  what [C]I have d[E]on[E7]e,
s[am]hun that h[C]ouse in [dm]New Orl[F]eans they [am]call the ris[E]in[E7]g s[am]un.

Well, it's [am]one [C]foot on the [dm]platform [F] and the [am]other [C]on the tr[E]ai[E7]n,
I'm [am]going b[C]ack to [dm]New Orl[F]eans to [am]wear that [E]ball [E7]and ch[am]ain.

I'm [am]going b[C]ack to [dm]New Orl[F]eans, my [am]time is [C]almost [E]do[E7]ne.
I'm [am]going t[C]here to [dm]spend my [F]days ben[am]eath that [E]risi[E7]ng s[am]un.
