The Animals - House of The Rising Sun (HQ)

"The Animals" song rendition is recognized as one of the classics of the British Invasion. Recorded in 1964.

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'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, 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

Many groups have done this song, but I always come back to The Animals. Very talented dudes!

Nothing brought me here just love good music

[scarletfever]

I'm glad my parents were born in the '50s and I was able to grow up listening to great music such as this.

I was always really impressed that a young English band discovered this song, decided to tackle it, and then pulled off one of the most powerful versions of it.

And God, I know I'm one

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

[Organ Solo]

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

Loved this song as a teen. His voice is outstanding. They made the best music in the 60 s 70 s...A great time to grow up
Many fond memories..

[yolondambrowm]

Lord have mercy! I wish they still made music like this.

[rosewoodfretboard]

Oh, my God. That just doesn't get old.

what is amazing is how low this ranks on many "lists" of top 100 or top 500 rock songs. Anybody that ever played a musical instrument, never mind a guitar probably knows the chords. It has been in dozens of movies. The transitions in the song really are top shelf

[walrimar]

Simply one the best songs of all times!!!

[shermanshecapio]

I've heard this song from that movie Casino...several main characters were killed..gunned down by hitmen..best movie ever.

[vinnyyazzie]

“And the only time he’s satisfied is when he’s all drUUNnk”! crack me open another one !!

[barbstegner]

Just fell in love with this song. VOICE is so Focused and Committed. BACKGROUND music is extremely powerful and intense. Done with such professionalism. Just Timeless!!

[ivanfojan]

Alan Price was just so awesome on keyboards, extremely underrated!

[thewildmitchell]

This song being a classic brought me here first, but Mafia 3 reminded me of this gem! ;)

[sixfourtyoneStudios]

They just don't make music like this anymore. This is what music was meant to be, absolute art.

[michaelwilkinson]

A baritone who can wail those soulful high notes.

[miles]

Great song, been done by quite a few people and this is one of my fav versions.

'Course the downside to so many people doing the song is you can never remember which version you have stuck in your head, so you can never quite scratch the itch of listening to it juuust right.
