original description

" I remember doing the Time Warp, Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling Let's do the time warp again..." Visiting the past.. in the sixties, there was a house they call'd the Rising Sun :) Many artists have covered the song, and it has been a standard cover for at least four decades by bar bands and major recording artists alike. In an interview by Martin Scorsese in his Dylan biopic No Direction Home, folksinger Dave van Ronk recounted that he had originally worked out the arrangement that Dylan then "borrowed" for his first album, and which was subsequently borrowed in turn by Eric Burdon, who, in 1964, took the song to newfound popularity when it was recorded by his British rock group The Animals. The Animals' version (which was arranged by the whole band but accidentally only credited to their keyboard player Alan Price) has become a staple of oldies and classic rock radio stations LYRICS There is a house in New Orleans They call it the Rising Sun. And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl, And me, oh God, I'm one. If I had only listen to what my mamma said I'd be at home today But being so young and foolish, my Lord Let a gambler lead me astray. Now my mother is a tailor She sews new blue jeans And my sweetheart is a drunker, Lord Drinks down in New Orleans. Now the only thing a gambler man needs Is a suitcase and the trunk And the only time he's satisfied Long is when he's on a drunk. Somebody go get my baby sister Tell her to do never to do what I have done But shun that house in New Orleans They call it the Rising Sun. Well, I'm going back to New Orleans My race is almost one Yes I'm going back To spend my life beneath the Rising Sun
