URGENT:
Can anyone tell me all the verses of the Animals' "House of the Rising
Sun", please?
I only know four.
I need to know by tonight.
Here's the four I know:
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
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gambling man
Down in New Orleans
And the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'd be satisfied
Is when he's all drunk
Oh, mother's tell your children
Not to do what I have done
And spend their lives in sincere misery
At the house of the Rising Sun.
Well that's roughly it. I also need to know if those verses are in the
right order.

You've got it all right and in the correct order so far, just one more
verse as I remember....
I got one foot on the platform,
The other foot on the train,
I'm going back to New Orleans,
To wear that ball and chain.

Oh, and its `sin and misery' not `sincere misery'!

And its 'Oh Mother, tell your children'. At least it is according to
the sheet music. But then seeing as its a 'trad' song there presumably
is no 'right' lyrics.
