House Of The Rising Sun Eric Burdon and The Animals 1964 | (Lou Mac 317) Don Wood |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
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
Allemande left and weave
My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads square thru and travel 4 now
With the sides make right hand star
Heads star by the left, once to the middle of the set
Same corner girl right & left thru
Swing thru and then swing thru again
Swing that corner, promenade
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Allemande left and weave
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
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
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
Allemande left and weave
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
TAG
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
