House Of The Rising Sun- Long Journey Home Festival at Tom Ashley Homeplace 9/3/2016

(music starts at 2:32) House Of The Rising Sun is a song first recorded by Clarence "Tom" Ashley that some attribute it's lyrical origin to the 1880's. It's sung by my cousin Jerry Moses. Fiddler Kenny Price is the son of the late Fred Price. The two Tom Ashley Homeplace performances were the next to last events of the two-day Long Journey Home Festival (second annual) held in Johnson County, Tennessee. http://www.longjourneyhome.net/homeco... Jerry is singing a later, longer version of this song much like others recorded during the folk revival of the 1960's. The lyrics from Clarence "Tom" Ashley's recording in 1933 are somewhat different. His recording has fewer verses and is much shorter due to the recording time limitation of ten-inch 78 RPM recordings of 1933 ( 2 to 3 minutes maximum). Ashley lyrics as transcribed: "House Of The Rising Sun" They are a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun Where many poor boy to destruction has gone And me, oh God, for one Just fill the glass up to the brim Let the drinks go merrily around We'll drink to the life of a rounder poor boy Who goes from town to town All in this world does a rounder want Is a suitcase and a trunk The only time he's satisfied Is when he's on a drunk Now boys, don't believe what a young girl tells you Let her eyes be blue or brown Unless she's on some scaffold high Saying, "Boys, I can't come down" I'm going back, back to New Orleans For my race is almost run To spend the rest of my wicked life Beneath that Rising Sun Transcribed from 6 September 1933 Vocalion recording sung by Clarence "Tom" Ashley with Gwen Foster (1933 recording carried the alternate, familiar title "Rising Sun Blues") jlw37663 For in depth reading of the musicians, places, and events checkout the "Liner Notes" publication from the first festival in 2015. Hopefully the 2016 "Liner Notes" will be added to this site. http://www.longjourneyhome.net/upload... The second annual Long Journey Home Musical Heritage Festival was held on 2-3 September 2016, Labor Day weekend. Artist Christy Dunn's new mural and this year's musical journey tour featured Fiddlin' Fred Price, Clint Howard, and Clarence “Tom” Ashley, who along with "newcomer" Doc Watson, recorded some of the most notable albums in the folk music revival of the 1960's. Video recordings posted here were made during the Festival on Saturday 3 September 2016 at the Clarence "Tom" Ashley homeplace in Shouns community and the Fred Price homeplace in Antioch community, both in Johnson County, Tennessee near the town of Mountain City. The new mural by Christy Dunn is on the side of a county municipal building across Main Street from the Johnson County Court House in Mountain City.
