The music is English from the 1700's (surprised?). There are many versions of the lyrics fading back into the US deep south in the 1800's. The ones here are similar to those used by the Animals in the 1960's.

Lyrics
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 'bout gamblin' is That it's soon gonna catch you up And the only time he's satisfied Is when he's gone a drunk ------ break ------ Well one foot's on the platform The other's on the train I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear the ball and chain Now mothers tell your children Not to do as I have done And spend your life in sin and misery In the 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
