Is there a copyright for House of the Rising Sun?

Answer:
The songwriter is unknown and usually credited as "traditional," yet there are at least 60 people or organizations claiming copyright on it.

Thus, there shouldn't be a copyright claim on the original song, but certain settings, performances, arrangements, and recordings may carry their own copyrights.
