| Added by bernard-dewagtere, 18 Aug 2011 Like many classic folk ballads, the authorship of "The House of the Rising Sun" is unknown. Some musicologists believe it is based on the tradition of broadside ballads such as the "Unfortunate Rake" of the 18th century which were taken to America by early settlers. Many of these had the theme of "if only" and after a period of evolution, they emerge as American songs like "Streets of Laredo". The most successful commercial version was recorded by the English rock group The Animals in 1964. (Wikipedia) Sheet central : | House of the Rising Sun (47 sheet music) | | |||
