The Animals - On Air 1964-67 (Live 1964-67)

House Of The Rising Sun - Live 1964

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Yeah God, I know I was one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
And 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 drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Don't spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

I got one foot on that platform
And another on the train
And I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
Dear God I know I'm one
Yeah God, I know I was the one
