The House of the Rising Sun - george melly/John Chilton's Feetwarmers
There is a house
In New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor boy
And God I knows I'm one
My mother
Was a tailor
She sewed my New blue jeans
But my dady was a gamblin' man
Oye down in New Orleans
Now the only thing
A gambler needs
Is a suitcase
And the trunk
And the only time
He's satisfied
Is when he's
Drink on a drunk
Oh mother
Learn your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend there lives in sin and misery
Them needs set of rising sun
I got one foot
On the platform
The other on the train
I'm goin' back
To New Orleans
To wear my ball and chain
There is a house
In New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor boy
And God I know I'm one
They cleard that rising sun
They cleard that rising sun
