The Animals - House of the Rising Sun

La primera vez que escuche esta canción fue en el programa La Gramola de M80, hace ya unos cuantos añitos, bastantes la verdad!!, y me sorprendió muchísimo tanto la canción como la voz!,.. luego hace unos meses en una pequeña discusión sobre el origen del la canión Paint it Black, me reencontré con ella y aqui os la dejo para compartirla con vosotros,.. si queréis información sobre esta preciosa canción os la dejo aquí.




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 bluejeans
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

------ 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
