Walls of Jericho - House of the Rising Sun

From Walls of Jericho's 3rd EP, Redemption. ---------- 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 gun, And the only time that he is satisfied, Is when he's on a run. Oh mother tell your children, Not to do what I have done: To spend your lifes 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 going 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.

Se cree que existen mas de cien versiones de este tema, y aunque escuche solo unas pocas, creo que esta debe ser una de las mejores si ya no la mejor.

You know, I'm beginning to wonder if this song is just impossible to be done wrong? Every version I hear is at least as good as the last...it seems everyone has a solid perspective on this old folk song. Great cover. Good job!
