House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And its been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans.

Now the only things a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
And spend your life sincere in misery
In the House Of The Rising Sun.

Well,I've got one foot on the platform
The other on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.

Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And its been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one.
