Subject: RE: Origins: House of the Rising Sun
I have figured out that Texas Alexander's "The Risin' Sun," 1928. is a totally different song. The lyrics:

My woman got somethin' just like the risin' sun
My woman got somethin' like the risin' sun
You can never tell when that work is done

It's no use to worryin' 'bout the days bein' long
It's no use to worryin' 'bout the days bein' long
Neither worries 'bout your rollin' because it sure goin' on

She got somethin' round and it look like a bat
She got somethin' round and it look just like a bat
Some time I wonder, "What in the hell is that?"

Mmmmm, mmmmm,
Sometime I wonder, "What in the hell is that?"
