, un'antica canzione americana, forse del primo ottocento. L'interpretazione più famosa, probabilmente, è quella della band inglese
.
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 gamblin' man |
Down in New Orleans |
|
Now the only thing a gambler needs |
Is a suitcase and a trunk |
And the only time he'll be satisfied |
Is when he's all 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 |
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 a poor boy |
And God I know I'm one |
