House of the Rising Sun

House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

Composed by：Alan Price/Traditional

There is a house way down 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

Mother was a tailor yeah yeah

Sewed my Levi jeans

My father was a gamblin' man

Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gamblin' ever needs

Is a suitcase Lord and a trunk

And the only time is 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 misery

In the house of the Rising Sun

Well I got one foot on the platform

The other foot on the train

I'm goin' back to New Orleans

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
