Lyrics - House Of The Rising Sun by 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
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was 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 a-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've 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
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
