The Mended Drum is a notorious pub in Ankh-Morpork. It used to be called the Broken Drum, but after the Ankh-Morpork fire in The Colour Of Magic it was repaired and renamed the Mended Drum. It�s the most famous pub on the discworld, and many heroes, criminals, and other riffraff have passed through its doors, rented a glass of beer and fought one another. What more can I say - you know the Drum if you�ve read a discworld book. Enjoy the song. |

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 blue jeans |
|
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 |
|
|

|
|
|
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 |
|
The Mended Drum |
|
The Drum�s theme is House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals: |
|
The Drum appears in any discworld book set in Ankh-Morpork. |
