"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."
This popular folk song “House of the Rising Sun” has been a part of the American music scene, performed by many noteworthy artists such as Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, with probably the most famous version done by The Animals. It talks about a man whose addictions get the better of him in New Orleans.
