The Animals-House of the Rising Sun

It'd be a sin for me to have a favorite song, but I'll have to say this is one of my favorites. It's depressing, but beautiful. Oh, and it has a nifty organ solo. You should give it a listen sometime.

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

EDIT: And you could listen to the song here. And it's not even blocked by the school!

Nice. Simple, but nice. I didn't get a chance to listen though because my speakers are broken.

I heard that song before!

My speakers are still broken.... Grrrrr....
