The House of the Rising Sun (Diplo Remix)

My mother was was a tailor
Sewed my Levi jeans
Yeah my father was a gambling man
Yup
The gambling men know
That the house always wins
Build a base with me to beat the odds
Let them shoot and use
Their bricks to build a fortress
For us to fortify their bonds
A true relationship with Christ
Would keep us from gambling
the dice
You have an imbalance
You should take meds
To keep you well chilled
And balanced
Aye
There is a house way down 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
Yeah my father was a gambling man
Yup cleaning out my closet for
My new found friends
I haven't cried much this year
I did a lot less gambling
And a lot more saving.
My poetry writing remains raw and original
But somehow my smile got a little friendly towards lots of strangers
Aye, Hey!
My mother was a tailor
Sewd my Levi jeans
I think I'm starting to like the human race again
A long night to think about my plus and minus
I grew up loving biblical stories That I could relate to
Aye
There is a House way down in New Orleans they call the
Rising Sun and it's been the ruin
For many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
