Have you heard the amazing 21st cent. version of the song on the Snakefarm album ' Songs From My Funeral'?.

This is in reference to the song The Rising Sun. I have a print that was copyright 1937. The artist that wrote the lyrics was Vance McMurray.

D. Garret, are the McMurray lyrics the same as the well-known lyrics?

Beh? che posso aggiungere? meglio in italiano così anche voi fate qualche sforzo di traduzione.
House of the Rising Sun...
si dice che Bob Dylan avrebbe "rubato" l'arrangiamento a Dave Van Ronck, ma la versione di quest'ultimo è sensibilmente inferiore al "pathos" dylaniano...
