Steemit Open Mic Week 85: Original - Roller Mill
What is happening #SteemitBloggers and #OpenMic fans?
It is time to submit a song for The Steemit Open Mic - Week 85
This song was written by my friend Jenny Roques and myself for a band scramble some years back. She wrote the lyrics, I wrote the music.
The band scramble was a cool event organized by St. Louis musicians. How was it done?
- Take five musicians who never played together.
- Throw them in a band.
- Give them three weeks to come up with three original songs.
- Play songs live and be judged
Our band won that year! We we're called Lazy Dynamite
This song is called Roller Mill
Roller Mill
written by Jenny Roques and Jason Vargas(@jgvinstl)
Oh take me down to that old roller mill
Down to that river and through the bloody hills
'Lil Oklahoma I knew that she would strait be out to kill.
That old river winding home
That old girl won't be alone
That old rivers here to stay
The roller mill in every way
Oh she had demons but she worked hard and was skilled
Oh she had her reasons and everyone knew it
Lil Oklahoma I knew that she would strait beat it to death
That old river winding home
That old girl won't be alone
That old rivers here to stay
The roller mill in every way
Oh take me down to that old roller mill
Down to that river and through the bloody hills
'Lil Oklahoma I knew that she would strait be out to kill.

I'll never be able to repeat the harmonica solo I just invented for this, but when you check the akashic record you will get a smile ;)
Sweet! You are a rock star @operahoser!
