The house of the rising sun

The house of the rising sun - The Animals (動物樂隊)

Written by：Alan Price/Traditional

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

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new bluejeans

My father was a gambling 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 he's satisfied

Is when he's on a drunk

Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children

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

I'm going 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
