夕阳旅馆 由 Eric Burdon（埃里克·伯登） 自一首民谣重新编曲而成。夕阳旅馆是以新奥尔良最著名的妓院名字命名的。许多黑人乐手极具天赋，他们弹欧洲古典乐及民谣的技术炉火纯青。在昏天酒地的气氛中，他们开始修改曲目，甚至自己创作，自由发挥，随意偏离固定格式。于是，由“妓院”钢琴师发展出两种模式——“切分法”和“即兴法”，它们形成了“褴时代音乐”标志。
There is a house in New Orleans,
they call the "Rising Sun",
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know, I'm one.
My mother was a tailor,
sewed my new blue jeans,
my father was a gambling man,
down in New Orleans.
Now the only thing a gambler needs,
is a suitcase and a trunk
and the only time, he'll be satisfied, is when
he's on a drunk.
Oh mother, tell your children,
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery,
In the "House of the Rising Sun"
Well, I got one foot on the platform,
The other foot on the train,
I'm going back to New Orleans,
To wear that ball and chain.
Well, there is a house in New Orleans,
They call the "Rising Sun",
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
And God, I know, I'm one.
