And its	been the	ruin of	many a poor	boy, And	me, oh	Lord, I'm	one.

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
	My mother	she's a	tailor,	She	sewed those	new blue	jeans.

My	father	he's a	gamblin'	man - Drinks	down in	New Or	leans.

Now the	only	things a	gambler	needs Is a	suitcase	and a	trunk.

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E7
And the	only	time that	he's satis	fied Is	when he's	on a	drunk.

	Am	C	D	F	Am	C	E
There's	one foot	on the	platform,	The	other foot	on the	train.

I'm	goin'	back to	New Or	leans To	wear that	ball and	chain.

Go	mother	tell your	children:	Not to	do what	I have	done.

	Am	C	D	F	Am	E	Am	E7
	Spend your	life sin-	cere in mise	ry In the	House of the	Rising	Sun.
