The Animals - House of the Rising Sun (lyrics)

House of the Rising Sun
Eric Burdon & The Animals
Album American Dreams
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
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
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've got one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm going 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 young poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

Lost my dad last week and said see you later today to him, and played this as we were all leaving. He told me to play this song for him 17 years ago when this day came. Love ya dad! See you later! ❤

I remember this song from the supernatural episode with the ghost farmer dude who plays this on a radio when he shows up, it's always stuck with me as a song that gives me HEAVY ghost town vibes
I live in Louisiana, and I gotta say, it fits really well. Of course, New Orleans is far from its old Southern ways, but I can't help but blast this on the radio I modified to sound old. There's nothing quite like it. It's amazing just how well the song's held up to time.

If you’re wondering, the reason a bunch of the lyrics are wrong is because there are a dozen different evolutions of the song with slightly different lyrics and the creator accidentally put the wrong set of lyrics on the animals version.

Loved this song, summer of 1964 was my last good innocent year. In December 7 of my dear cousins perished in a fire which was arson committed by their father while drunk. It was sad, I always thought The House of the Rising Sun was the penitentiary. Now, after reading the lyrics, I realize it was an after-hours gambling joint! This song still resonates deeply within my soul and brings tears to my eyes that refuse to stream down my cheeks! This old music keeps me going.

It should exist! You should write a script and send it to Stephen Spielberg!! I'm a writer. I'd edit and stuff for you. It's one hell of an idea and these days it seems writers can't come up with original ideas. Always copying old classics and revamping them to pure crap. This is a gangster western. Someone I think should be the lead role during his grown-up days? Sam Elliott or Timothy Olyphant. During his childhood days? Maybe Shia LaBeouf. Couldn't think of anyone else. Do it! What's the worst that could happen? They steal your idea and don't give you credit. That would suck. So get it copywritten!

So, this is a child's nostalgic memory. When I was in my old house, my mother used to use the car a lot, meaning that id hear this alot. But then, I moved a few years earlier. Today, I literally heard this song on my old fashioned radio, as soon as I woke up. It was so nostalgic that I searched up ''House Of The Rising Sun'' And found more nostalgic songs. Thank you for taking me down memory lane, Wind Music. It really made me cry. -A happy listener.
Every time I hear this rhythm it makes me think of my childhood growing up my dad played guitar and would always do this song
When I hear a song like this it just gets my writing juices flowing. You can plot the story a multitude of ways just from the ambiance the song brings.
all dislikes are House Of The Rising Moon
Even if your finding it from some app or funny video, im glad young people are hearing the music i grew up loving, it brings a smile to my face

I’m now 77 years old and when I’ve heard this song I was 18 years old.
The song was originally written and sung from the perspective of a woman who had to return to the brothel for lack of options and other opportunities. The Animals changed it around and made it an absolute classic.

I'm so happy my dad listen to stuff like this cause it's one of my favorite genres
His voice is amazingly fitting for this song
ERIC BURDON !!!!! Absolute legend.!!!! This song was written for him, and he was born to sing it.
I found a Bardcore/Medieval style cover of this with adapted lyrics and it occurred to me I’ve never listened to this song in its entirety and decided to remedy that. And now that I’ve listened to it I can honestly I quite enjoy this song… and Tragically i kinda vibe with it… while I’m not much of a gambler I do have my vices, and i can feel and understand the pain of the songs’ focal character. I’m sure we all have something like that and can relate to some degree. Edit: Don’t worry about me this comment isn’t a call for help directed at strangers. Just my personal thoughts and feelings on this hauntingly beautiful song

Sitting outside and thinking of my dad tonight. This was his #1 favorite jam, I can remember him jamming away on his Gibson like it was yesterday. It's been 6 years dad and I still think of you everyday. Till we meet again!
This song evokes tons of memories for me since my dad was a Gambian man. To me this genre of music has country appeal & remains timeless. ❤️😍😎💕

Love this song!!! ❤️
I went on a camping trip with my sister, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's dad. The boyfriend's dad took me out on a side by side out into the woods. While driving, he sang this song to me and got me to sing along with him. He then made me sing it back at the camp with everyone else (was super embarrassing), but that memory stuck out to me. Had never met the man before or after that. Now it's one of my favourites to listen to, reminds me of that guy.
Maravilhosa Inesquecível
this gives me nostalgia of the 1960s and i was born in 2002
I don't know why this is, when you find a good modern song it sticks with you for a few days, but when you find an old good folk song it sticks with you for a week or more.

bro i don’t remember hearing this ever in my life but it still feels nostalgic bruh
As much as I love The Animals and this song, this is not my favorite version. But instead, due to the raspy, raw vocal delivery and the simple, hypnotically engaging and dark acoustic guiitar, I can't help but close my eyes, squeeze them shut and strain my muscles and my jaw and tighten every part of my body, sometimes producing a flood of tears that are only conjured in moments of true beauty, passion, creativity and wonder. And for me, as if my opinion matters to any of you strangers, Bob Dylan's rendition is THE definitive version in my life. Recorded when Dylan was only 19 years old, it truly haunts me in the most overwhelmingly beautiful way possible!

This song make me remember my childhood(i'm just 16,used to live in a small village in eastern europe,with a breath taking view,a lot of wasterns,vikings and cool TV shows,near a small forest and with a huge imagination,it was beautiful to wake up in the morning and see the sun rise from the hills and see the orange light hit the houses and your face)
Forgot about this song and I remembered it after watching casino. Top film
Not so sure this song is about gambling in the sense people think it is. The House of the Rising Sun was a brothel in New Orleans. The house had ruined many a poor boy’s lives. He lived in sin & misery. His dad was only satisfied when he was drunk & had his suitcase. He was going to stay the night and he showed his son his ways and now it’s got him hooked, hence the ball & chain. 😅 But either way, great song.
there are traces of this song having been passed down and slightly altered over time ever since even the early 1600's. constantly being changed over time from word of mouth, being traced back through generations.
Eric Burdon was magnif.
Why is this song so good

I associate this song with my dad. This is his era of music, but he also has a habit of gambling. He’s had good days and bad days with it. Still, that’s what you get when you’re a hard-working working class man who loves within an hour’s drive of two of the most prominent casinos in the USA, if not the world. My family and I have a love/hate relationship with that habit of his. It’s brought us both some benefits and some detriments to our lives.

“And as the sun slowly sets on a burning building and boy, running as fast as he can, from a gambling addicted father, he starts to realize he has made one of the worst desicions of his life, 20 years down the road he’s met by gun fire and then a shot connects, this poor boy is no more, he no longer stands strong he now lay on his back on the inside of the house of the rising sun” *roll the end of the movie scene and then it cuts to the beginning*

Is it just me, or do songs like this just kinda carry a depressing tone? Like, when you're listening to it, it clears your mind, but allows those thoughts of like "what even is the meaning of life" to intrude. Probably just me.
