[Gargamel]

Det er sundt fra tid til anden også at blive mindet om medaljens bagside for os, som er meget optaget af betting

Jeg tænker sommetider på dette meget smukke stykke poesi inspireret af en gammel amerikansk folkevise og som er blevet fremragende fortolket af the Animals i denne "video" fra 1964.

Her er teksten:


"House Of The Rising Sun"

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 trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

[Organ Solo]

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
