There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Well 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 trump
 
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

[@breiz] or any other editor
Neither The Animals nor Bob Dylan used "the" in the title. Take it out and this rendition will link to some others we have here.

Blue jeans = 2 words
On a trump (misheard lyrics... and possible bias)
a trunk: always heard it "a suitcase and a trunk" (to rhyme with "all a drunk")
