There is a house in Charming Town
Am C E
They call the Rising Son
Am C D F
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Am E Am
And me, Oh God, I'm one
Am C D F
If I listened to my mama
Am C E
Lord I'd be home today
Am C D F
But I was young and foolish
Am E Am
And some rider led me astray
Am C D F
Go tell my baby sister
Am C E
never do what I've done
Am C D F
To sell the house in Charming Town
Am E Am
They call the Rising Son
Am C D F
My Mother, she's a tailor
Am C E
She sewed my new blue jeans
Am C D F
My sweetheart he's a rambler
Am E Am
Lord he rides an old machine
Now the only thing a rambler needs
is a suitcase and a gun
the only time he's satisfied
is when he's on the run
He fills his chamber up with lead
and takes his pain to town
the only pleasure he gets out of life
is bringing another man down
He's got one hand on the throttle
the other on the breaks
he's riding back to Redwood
On his father's stake
And me I wait in Charming Town
To gain my love as one
I'm staying here to lend my life
Down in the Rising Son
I'm staying here to end my life
Down in the Rising Son
