The Animals House of the Rising Sun (lyrics)

House of the Rising Sun Eric Burdon The Animals Album American Dreams lyrics 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 a gamblin man Down in New Orleans Now the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk And the only time that he s satisfied Is when he s on 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 And 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 young poor boy And God, I know I m one , lyrics, theanimals, houseoftherisingsun
