House of the Rising Sun Lyrics
The Animals
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, 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
Sweet! Great feel Gentlemen, enjoyed it very much.
like it!
I've recorded Vi here several times, and one live event as well. He is a pleasure to work with.
He lives in Fort Collins.
Yeah, I asked Vi about you last Aug. and he said he'd been to your studio, thought I had told you that…
Very, very nice Vi….
