House of the Rising Sun - Peter Hollens

The Animals, Nina Simone, Leadbelly, and Peter Hollens? Who did it best?

My exact Lyrics:

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
I know, I know I'm one

(0:32) My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

(1:02) Oh mothers tell your children (Children, don't you do)
Not to do what I have done
Don't spend your lives in s in and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

(1:29) Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

(1:43) I'm goin' back to New Orleans
Our race is almost run
I'm goin' back to spend the night
In the House of the Rising Sun

This is Beautiful Peter Hollens! As always, can you please consider singing the song "Here I Am" from the movie Spirit Stallion of the Ciramon?

Wow, Mr. Hollens, did you reach a new low? Low pitch, that is; that was some deep sound! Thoroughly enjoyed it, as always!
