"The House of the Rising Sun", The Animals

Легендарная песня, родившаяся ещё в 30-х годах, была популяризирована британской группой 60-х The Animals. Эдакая блюзовая баллада новоорлеанского люмпен-пролетариата, который погубил свою жизнь в так называемом "Доме Восходящего Солнца". Было ли это загадочное здание тюрьмой, кабаком, игорным или публичным домом, - история умалчивает. Предостерегающие слова героя делают песню актуальной даже в современном обществе...
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 blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he is 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
