The House of the Risin' Sun

I'm aiming to live in the Risin' Sun
Where Dylan lived with the Animals then
My bag's on the track where the Orleans train runs

I've been a good son and had a fair share a fun
They tell me that don't make no legends of men
I'm aiming to live in the Risin' Sun

Make a ruin of myself, so destruction will come
Take a pair of unlucky young girls as bad friends
My bag's on the track where the Orleans train runs

Every day before summer I'd think as I'd hum
Of the sound of a man when his life hits the end
He's aiming to die in the Risin' Sun

With nowhere to go on the edge of a gun
He's riding the line 'till it halts and descends
His bag on the track where the Orleans train runs

In the glint of the passenger windows I'm him
I'm gonna live transformed in the dirtiest den
My bag's on the track where the Orleans train runs
I'm aiming to live in the Risin' Sun
