No, Woody Guthrie did not write "House of the Rising Sun." The song is a traditional folk song that has been performed by various artists over the years, with its origins dating back to at least the 19th century. Guthrie did, however, popularize it in his own folk style, contributing to its enduring legacy in American music. The most famous version was later recorded by The Animals in 1964.
