This is one of those forever songs. I have loved this song since the first release. I listen to it all the time. The animals are the only ones that can do this song justice. It is their song. Forever!!

Actually the tune is an english ballad that made its way to North America long ago. Therefore being a traditional tune, it cannot be copyrighted, hence the number of bands playing and recording this song. You'll probably find recordings of this song since the 20s. Enjoy!

George Thorogood should cover this song

house of the rising sun is an American folk song no one knows who wrote it for sure the animals just had success with it

no ass hole its about a whore house or brothel. Eric burdun never went to prison and the animals did not write this
