This song is an American folk song .
I never knew American Histroy was old as having a "folk song". But I love this song so much.
But from 200 years from now, when we'll all be gone, this will become a folk blog. This will be folk literature. I love to be a part of a folklore, am I alone , in this aspect ?
And guess what ? The folk song has "jeans" mentioned in it.
It is abt a prostitute repenting about going to the "House of the Rising Sun"
And House of the Rising Sun is a euphemism for a Brothel.
It is kick ass, especially the Jimi Hendrix version. Some vodka in a dim lit club will make a memorable weekend.....
However, the version of the British version by the "Animals" is really very good, you can check it out. You can check the voice of the lead singer. Really effortless vocals.
Here is the song for you guys to enjoy!!!
