House of the Rising Sun:epic dark version

House Of The Rising Sun – traditional folk song – popularized by The Animals

Lyrics:

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 a 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

The Enduring Enigma of “The House of the Rising Sun”: From Obscurity to Legend: american-bard.com …““There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun…” These iconic opening lines have resonated across generations, evoking a sense of loss, regret, and the seductive allure of a life spiraling out of control. “The House of the Rising Sun” is more than just a song; it’s a cultural touchstone, a haunting ballad that has been reinterpreted and reimagined countless times. But beneath the familiar rock anthem lies a rich and mysterious history, stretching back to the early days of American folk music.”

Tom Clarence Ashley & Gwen Foster: House Of The Rising Sun (1933)

“From Wikipedia: The oldest known existing recording is by Appalachian artists Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster and was made in 1933. Ashley said he had learned it from his grandfather, Enoch Ashley. Alger “Texas” Alexander’s “The Risin’ Sun,” recorded in 1928, is sometimes mentioned as the first recording, but is a completely different song.” (Adelfred)

INTRO:
They are a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
Where many poor boy to destruction has gone
And me, oh God, for one
GUITAR YODEL
Just fill the glass up to the brim
Let the drinks go merrily around
We’ll drink to the life of a rounder, poor boys,
Who goes from town to town
GUITAR YODEL
All in this world, does a rounder want
Is a suitcase and a trunk
The only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk
GUITAR YODEL
Now boys, don’t believe what a young girl tells you
Let her eyes be blue or brown
Unless she’s on some scaffold high
Saying, “Boys, I can’t come down.”
GUITAR YODEL
I’m going back to New Orleans
For my race is almost run
To spend the rest of my wicked life
Beneath the Rising Sun

…“the story goes that there was a gambling house in New Orleans and the song is about the gambler who lost everything and now regrets. But apperantlt the melody and some of the lyrics can be traced back to England in the 1700 or 1600 so no one knows who wrote it and wherr did it actually come from.” (from comments)
