Muse - House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Well mothers tell your children
Not to do what I have done
While you spend your life in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Well It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

There is no original of this song, it has been recorded by many artists since the 30's. Nobody knows who wrote it 'originally' but other artists have added/changed words/chords along the way. I'm not too fussed to be honest, I just love it in most of its forms.

Animals perfected the song.

Muse just interpreted it differantly.

Both songs are good, get the fuck over it and stop bitching.

;D

If everyone wants to know this song is a sixtieth century English folk song about a Soho brothel and was taken to America and was adapted to the new Orleans setting, therefore has no original writer.
