House of the Rising Sun by the Animals

This is how this song is done, there is no better version then the Animals! Great old video. I wish we still had music videos done right. This song is soooo stuck in my head! "Oh mother tell your children, not to do what I have done..."

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 blue jeans
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
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 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
