Animals - House of the Rising Sun

Animals - House of the Rising Sun Music Video
Nr. 7 at the top 2000 from 2008

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 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

EPIC SOLO!!!! Got to love older music. Sigh. Music today just isn't as good as it was back then.

[ItsMyMusic2k11]

I bet they never thought no one would watch this in 2011.

Eric looks a bit like Stewart Lee...

Or vice versa, if you prefer

Oh snap! They're rockin the Beatle boots!

By the way, does anyone know what guitar Hilton Valentine is using? Looks like a Gretsch Country Gentleman but I am not foolish enough to depend on my on thoughts. :)

@eloriental1946 Si, este es un cancion muy fuerte y muy importante en la historia de los Estados Unidos especialmente en la guerra de Vietnam. Muchos soldados escucharon a este cancion en la guerra de Vietnam. Mi primera lengua es ingles y me gusta usar espanol todo el tiempo :)
