The Animals— The House of The Rising Sun
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sB3Fjw3Uvc)
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruinof many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
(She) sewedmy new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
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 all drunk
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to dowhat 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 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
