Steemit Open Mic Week 77 - 'House of the Rising Sun'
Hello Steemit! 
Hello Steemit! This is my submission for this weeks Steemit Open Mic contest by @pfunk and @luzcypher. This week I cover a traditional folk song called 'House f the Rising Sun'.
...so without further ado...
Youtube video - Lyrics -
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm a-one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, lord
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
He fills his glasses up to the brim
And he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life
Is ramblin' from town to town
Oh tell my baby sister
Not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the risin' sun
Well, it's one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm goin' back to end my life
Down in the risin' sun
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the risin' sun
Its been the ruin of many poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm one
Thanks for listening!!

STOPI like the lyrics of this song. @derekrichardson
Thanks @emmanuelacheamp. I like the lyrics too. It's a sad story, but it makes a good song.
It seems like you have constipation and having difficulty in pooping and trying to sing to console yourself. buhahahahaha
Don't forget to flag my comment as usual. haha!
Haha! You are so silly. I'm not sure why you seem to like me, but we can be friends if you want. I see you are fairly new to steemit. BTW I have no real reason to downvote anything at $0 and you downvoting all my old posts that are already paid out does nothing but waste your voting power. And downvotes only lower someones rep if it comes from someone with a higher rep. So I got no worries there...
..oh and you know you secretly do like my song!! lol. Peace and love bro.
Haha! I'll just say an aphorism "My foot my tutor". I think it was my mistake to like that post and you started to flaging my comments and posts thereafter.
As far as my earnings and reputation in Steemit is concerned, i'll just another aphorism "A fog can't be dispelled by a fan". As you said am a newbie in Steemit, so what you would plunder from my account by flaging. Think about yours...buhaha....!
I laughed a lot after commenting on your song and wanted to hit another comment but suddenly I saw your mother's comments which deter me to post negative comments there.
Our conversation already showcaded friendship, whether its positive or negative, I don't know but please don't make me emotional blackmail by using soft words and in the end let me clearify to you that am straight. lolxx
