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

------ 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

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.
