The Animals
House of the Rising Sun


-------------------------------------------------------
Erst mal der Text zum Mitsingen
-------------------------------------------------------

 [Am]There is a [C]house in [D]New Or[F]leans,
 They [Am]call the [C]Rising [E]Sun.
 And it's [Am]been a [C]ruin of [D]many poor [F]boy,
 And [Am]me, oh [E]Lord, I'm [Am]one.

 My mother was a tailor,
 She sewed my new blue jeans.
 My father was a gamblin' man
 Way down in New Orleans.

 The only thing a gambler needs
 Is a suitcase and a trunk.
 And the only time that he's satisfied,
 Is when he's all a-drunk.

 I've got one foot on the platform
 And the other 's on the train.
 I'm goin' back to New Orleans
 To wear that ball and chain.

 Now, mothers, tell your children:
 Not 'do, what I have done.
 To spend your lives in sin and misery,
 In the house of the Rising Sun.
