Bob Dylan - House of the Risin' Sun
There is a house down in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I'm one.
My mother was a tailor, she sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord, down in New Orleans.
Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time when he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk.
He fills his glasses up to the brim and he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life is rambling from town to town.
Oh tell my baby sister not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans they call the rising sun.
Well with one foot on the platform and the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain.
I'm going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run.
I'm going back to end my life down in 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 girl and me, oh God, I'm one
에니몰스가 1964년에 발표합니다.그러나 그 보다 더빠른 1962년에
밥딜런이 먼저 부른 곡이죠.앨범 밥딜런에 수록된 이곡은 포크의 단점을
극복?하지못하고 애니몰스가 부른곡이 히트하면서 지금까지 유명했던 안했던
한번씩 불러보는 불후의명곡이 되어 버렸습니다.
음악의 장르를 불문하고 불려진건 이곡이 가장 많을거라고 생각합니다.
비틀즈의 에스터데이도 많이 불려졌지만 이곡만큼은 아니라고 감히 생각해봅니다.
