BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE - HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

.....for dear friends Lucyna and Robert
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

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

Tons of singers tackled this song, and most of the time did a good to great job of it. Sill considering Eric and is Animals version as probably the main reference over all, this rendition by BTO seems to be the one that really goes toe to toe as far hard rock is concerned.
