Thats pretty much it. Finally a tab for this song that isn't for the animals version.

Lyrics:

There is a house down in new orleans

They call the risin' sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl

And me, oh god, I'm a-one

My mother was a tailor

She sewed these new blue jeans

My sweetheart was a gambler, lord

Down in new orleans

Now 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

He fills his glasses up to the brim

And he'll pass the cards around

And the only pleasure he gets out of life

Is ramblin' from town to town

Oh tell my baby sister

Not to do what I have done

But shun that house in new orleans

They call the risin' sun

Well, it's one foot on the platform

And the other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to new orleans

To wear that ball and chain

I'm a-goin' back to new orleans

My race is almost run

I'm goin' back to end my life

Down in the risin' sun

There is a house in new orleans

They call the risin' sun

It's been the ruin of many poor girl

And me, oh god, I'm a-one

 Lyrics:
 
 There is a house down in new orleans
 They call the risin' sun
 And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
 And me, oh god, I'm a-one
 
 My mother was a tailor
 She sewed these new blue jeans
 My sweetheart was a gambler, lord
 Down in new orleans
 
 Now 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
 
 He fills his glasses up to the brim
 And he'll pass the cards around
 And the only pleasure he gets out of life
 Is ramblin' from town to town
 
 Oh tell my baby sister
 Not to do what I have done
 But shun that house in new orleans
 They call the risin' sun
 
 Well, it's one foot on the platform
 And the other foot on the train
 I'm goin' back to new orleans
 To wear that ball and chain
 
 I'm a-goin' back to new orleans
 My race is almost run
 I'm goin' back to end my life
 Down in the risin' sun
 
 There is a house in new orleans
 They call the risin' sun
 It's been the ruin of many poor girl
 And me, oh god, I'm a-one
