    And when, at last, my father fell
    _(Well mother, tell your children)_
    With a bullet through his spine
    _(Not to do what I have done)_
    The hand that had held onto that smoking gun
    _(Spend your life in sin and misery)_
    And pulled the trigger was mine
    _(In the House of the Rising Sun)_
    And as he lay there, dying on the floor
    _(There is a house in New Orleans)_
    He whispered 'I forgive you, son'
    _(They call the Rising Sun)_
    There ain't no other way that our story could end
    _(And its been the ruin of many a poor boy)_
    No other way our race could have run.
    _(And God, I know I'm one.)_
    _Well, I got one foot on the platform_
    _The other foot on the train_
    _I'm going back to New Orleans_
    _To wear that ball and chain._
