House of the rising sun  (lyrics)

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, 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.
