House of the rising sun (The Animals)

Editada en 1964 en su primer disco, al parecer es propia de la cultura popular del sur de estados unidos, y del boca a boca pasó a ser una de los temas más versionados, aquí solo incluyo tres versiones, de Muse, Joan Baez y Nina Simone.
Si no os suena quizás os vuelva a la memoria algo si os digo que es el tema que marca el desenlace en Casino de Scorsese.

The animals y luego muse

Joan Baez.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.
In God, I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailor.
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans.

Now, the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trump
And the only time that he's 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 risin' sun.

Well, I've 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.
In God, I know I'm one.

Para mí la mejor versión, la de Nina Simone.
