The Animals - 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'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 all 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

A classic song. One of my favorite 60s songs

[reinatycoon]

Such an amazing song. It is very nostalgic for me. I love the lyrics and instrumentals.

[CrowUnTold]

The animals cover of "the house of the rising sun" in 1964, remains my favorite cover of the song. No one knows who wrote the original lyrics but its been traced to predate ww1. There are theories that surround the meaning of the song but no one knows for sure. However, we do know that "the house of the rising sun" is a timeless classic that I'll be sure to sing to the future generations for as long as i live

1964, and this song will never leave me since I was 3 years old. I LOVE IT to this day!

[playapete]

This old music makes me understand more life.

[eduardorojas]

When you happy you enjoy the music but when you sad you understand the music

[nathandavidheinrich]

Been part of this scene. Brother, Sister, let me tell you. Makes you feel more alive than any drug. More alive than the cosmos can bring. Brother, Sister there is a house there. They call it The Rising Sun. Don't go.

Some people wonder what the house of the rising sun is. Some theorize that it's different depending on who is the one singing the song (the song's been around forever, and a lot of people have made covers of it), but most agree it represents some sort of vice. I say that it's meaning depends on who's listening to the song. Everyone has a sin that they struggle to leave, everyone has their own house of the rising sun that they find themselves going back to even when they know it's wrong. Just know that there is hope. Some day you will leave the house of the rising sun, and never turn back.

Missing Nola! Nola! Love this music. Gisela: From Rio, Brazil..

[tuanorieno]

I'm pulled out of this song every time you slam SUPERGOOTIE in my face. Made it to 1:46 and bailed. Once at the beginning and once at the end would be more than adequate.

[Gcanarte]

You know I’m an old soul when I have this song as my alarm clock

[lynngalyon]

Has a place all it's own in the history of Rock n Roll

[parshadavis]

Man this song reminds me when I was a teen. Basically I was with these guys that would pay me if I cleaned their cars but little did I know they were part of a gang. They said I was in the gang but I just never tell anyone. And I was surprised to see some of my friends in there too. Then there were some drive by car. One of my friends that we used to call “chucho” which means dog in Spanish got shot and died. And when the time came i told my family about what I’ve done and I told my brothers and sister not to do what I’ve done. I basically did all that stuff to help my family with the money. And not the clean the cars part but I felt like they were family to me.
