House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics - The 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 

She sewed my new bluejeans 

My father was a gamblin' man 

Down in New Orleans 

Now the only thing a gambler needs 

Is a suitcase and trunk 

And the only time he's satisfied

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
