Lyrics for the song "House of the Risin' Sun" by the Animals:

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And its been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a 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
Spent your life in sin and misery
In the house of the risin sun

Well, its 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's a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
Its been the ruin of many poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
