The House of the Rising Sun is a traditional song first recorded in 1933. Many versions of this song have been recorded by the likes of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan but the most popular version was by the Animals in 64 who transposed the point of view from that of a woman to that of a man. It was a monster hit for them and called the first folk-rock hit song. Dylan who had recorded it 3 years before the Animals was upset when his version was referred to as a cover of the Animals version. I always forget how much fun this song is to play until I start playing it, hope you like it.
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
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
