It's a classic but I finally listened to it:)

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, 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

The Animals

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

    House of the Rising Sun is truly one of the best songs ever written. The Animals version it top notch.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I got a guitar in January and I decided that this will be the first song I will teach myself how to play on it:)

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars

    I saw a video of it on a channel called The Tube (yes it actually plays nothing but videos all day) and when i saw it my jaw dropped and I was in shock.... they all had on suits and their hair was so neat...they looked so clean cut...but when you hear his voice.... you'd think he look different....when I was watching it I actually thought it was a joke and somebody like the red hot chillie pepper was going to jump out and start singing...but I talked with someone about it and he said that that look didn't start until after the beetles or something...

    that song takes me back to my childhood......
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

    do you think PJ could sing this one in concert..... ed would do great on the vocals of course and there's room for boom to have a solo......I know ed is singing about war n all lately - the song is about a brothel - but I think it would be a good song to hear:) what do you guys think
