|
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 gambling man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and chug
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drug
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 going 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

[1] Various places in New Orleans, Louisiana have been proposed as the
inspiration for the song, with varying degrees of plausibility. Only two
candidates, however, have historical documentation as using the name
"Rising Sun," both having listings in old city directories. The first
was a small short-lived hotel on Conti Street in the French Quarter in
the 1820s. An excavation and document search in early 2005 found
evidence supporting this claim, including an advertisement with language
that may have euphemistically indicated prostitution. The second was a
late 19th-century, "Rising Sun Hall," on the riverfront of the uptown
Carrollton neighborhood, which seems to have been a building owned and
used for meetings of a "Social Aid & Pleasure Club," commonly rented out
for dances and functions. Definite links to gambling or prostitution, if
any, are undocumented for either of these buildings, neither of which
still exists.]
[2] The earliest recording of this song seems to be by: Clarence "Tom"
Ashley & Gwen Foster in 1933. Other versions are recorded by: The
Callahan Brothers-1934, Roy Acuff-1938, Woodie Guthrie-1941, Lead
Belly-1948, Nina Simone-1954, Glenn Yarbrough-1957, Joan Baez-1959, Bob
Dylan-1962, The Supremes-1964, Marianne Faithful-1965, Nat Stuckey-1969,
Claude King-1970, Conway Twitty-1970, Frijid Pink-1970, Dolly
Parton-1980, Adolescents-1987, Jandek-1987, Tracy Chapman-1990, Miriam
Makeba-1994, Sinead O'Connor-1994, Peter, Paul & Mary-1995,
Evereve-2000, Bachman Turner Overdrive-2001, Brand New Sin-2006,
Sentenced-2007, et al.]
[3] Ball and chain, as used here, is a phrase that refers to a
restraining device that was used to slow down prisoners, consisting of a
heavy, solid, metal ball, attached to a chain, which is shackled to the
leg. The device is no longer used in developed countries today, but was
reported to be a standard in Sing Sing (Ossining Prison, New York State)
until the 1920s.] |
