The Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun lyrics

Your rating:

Refrein:
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many poor boys
And God I know I'm one.

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

Now the only thing a gambler needs is
A suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk.

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and missery
In the house of the Rising Sun.

Well I've got one foot on the platform
And the other on the train
They call me back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain.

Refrein.
