the Animals-The House Of The Rising Sun 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-am 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 a trunk
And the-only time
he's-satisfied
Is when-he's all 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
Now 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-the-one
