This is a rather less upbeat version of the traditional song... please leave a comment if you like it... or just click through if you dont!

Although the House of the Rising Sun was most famously covered by The Animals it is in fact a much older folk song dating from the early 1930's. It's roots are very vague but, almost certainly first written for a woman, it is possibly about a brothel or perhaps about a New Orleans women's prison which infamously had the rising sun painted over its entrance gate.
