about

Though originally recorded by the Animals, I grew to love the version my father would sing around the campfire..... So this is me covering my father, covering the Animals.

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 blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
way Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he was satisfied
when he’d drink his liquor down

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 programming from Walter is exciting - I would like more and longer instrumentals with some slower build up songs. This may be in extended versions....I am hoping Walter to do it the same way. Either way there is potential for their new album to be great but be different to past albums with these new exciting instrumentals. Chris' has wonderful shades of light and dark these days - mesmerising. Wow!! Liveinthemoment
