Steemit Openmic week 87 - Jolene by Dolly Parton (cover)
I grew up on Neil Diamond, John Denver, Josh Groban, and Dolly Parton. That was basically all my parents ever listened to lol, but let’s just say now I appreciate it.
I hope you guys enjoy my version of the song, considering it’s pretty different from the original! Love you guys and thanks for all the support:)
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you: please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
I'm begging of you: please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
I'm begging of you: please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
The truth if the cover is very different from the original, but in the same way I stay great, success in the contest, I thought a while ago to cover that theme with my Violin but for strange reasons I never did hahaha greetings
Hey thank you:) And you should totally still do a cover with a violin! I’ve always wanted to learn to play, but that instrument has escaped me lol.
Well I've done other covers if you want to go through my profile and see my entry to the openmic, you should learn to play it is never too late to learn a new instrument
Yes I’m definitely going to check out your work! And you’re totally right.... I need to start picking up more instruments for sure.
Nice one! Great pic of you too.
