leadbelly - house of the rising sun

there is a house in new orleans
they call the rising sun
it's been the ruin of a many a poor girl
and me, oh god are one

if i had listened like momma said
i would not be here today
but being so young and foolish too
that a gambler lead me astray

come tell my baby sisters
dont do what i have done
please shun that house in new orleans
they call the rising sun

i'm goin back to new orleans
my race is almost run
i'm goin back to new orleans
beneath the rising sun

So my question was, who was the first to make it rock n roll , was it the Animals ? or was it perhaps maybe even some garage band we'll never know of again that started it , or whatever . Thanx for trying to give me a clue though , l appreciate the effort...

[ledrotten]

I beleive you may have misunderstood the question , I would like to know whos arraingmet the Animals used, the same one Fridjid Pink used , and basicaly the same one any Rock n Roller has used since The Doc Watson and Clarence Ashley is pretty much leadbelly's araingment ,more of a folk araingment, and l've always dug it ,but back in the 60's there were a few folk songs which many new rock bands covered ,songs like Tobbaco road ,etc House ,was one of them ,but thes songs were now rock versions

[Marilyn Middleton Mellor]

I think it was Doc Watson



[ledrotten]

So tell me if anyone knows , who was first to play this song with the chord progression the Animals ,Dylan , and every artist since has used ?
