House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
Yeah God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
Way down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Yeah when he's on a drunk
Yeah Mother tell your children
Oh don't do don't do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
In the House of the Rising Sun
I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
And I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
To wear that ball and chain
Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
And God I know I'm one
And God I know I'm one
