House Of The Rising Sun
Eric Burdon
House Of The Rising Sun (Original Version)
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the ''Rising Sun''
And it's been the ruin of many a young poor boy
And, God, I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Way down in New Orleans
Now the only thing he ever needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time 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
With one foot on the platform
The other foot on a train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the ''Rising Sun''
And its been the ruin of many young poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
