"The House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals

This ballad has two versons . One is masculine and one is feminine. The thoughts that come to mind are completely different. The masculine variety lends itself to hard luck and a hard life, but, the female variety dictates sexuality and sin. The divison of 'life experience' is completely a double standard.

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

It's Saturdy Night

The trappings are those of a warrior.

What makes her less of one?

The House of the Rising Sun by Bob Dylan

There is a house down in new orleans

They call the risin’ sun

And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl

And me, oh god, I’m a-one

My mother was a tailor

She sewed these new blue jeans

My sweetheart was a gambler, lord

Down in new orleans

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he’s satisfied

Is when he’s on a drunk

He fills his glasses up to the brim

And he’ll pass the cards around

And the only pleasure he gets out of life

Is ramblin’ from town to town

Oh tell my baby sister

Not to do what I have done

But shun that house in new orleans

They call the risin’ sun

Well,it’s one foot on the platform

And the other foot on the train

I’m goin’ back to new orleans

To wear that ball and chain

I’m a-goin’ back to new orleans

My race is almost run

I’m goin’ back to end my life

Down in the risin’ sun

There is a house in new orleans

They call the risin’ sun

It’s been the ruin of many poor girl

And me, oh god, I’m a-one
