Did Former Scorpions Bass player Claim he Attended Elite Snuff Parties in a weird interview ... Ralph Riekermann ? What are the lyrics to that song? It's an old Blues folk song but it might go back as far as 16th or 17th Century France or England? @SurfinMindWaves so the song is kind sacred to them, part of the ritual? ... There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun And its been the ruins of many a poor boy
And god I know Im one
@ScreaminMime ? @jollux
My mother was a taylor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin?man
Way down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs. Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time you keep him satisfied
Is when hes all a drunk
Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in sin and misery - In the house , of the rising sun ... "House of Rising Sun" was said to have been known by miners in 1905.[6] The oldest published version of the lyrics is that printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925, in a column "Old Songs That Men Have Sung" in Adventure magazine.[9] The lyrics of that version begin:[9][10]
There is a house in New Orleans, it's called the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Founded by the French, ruled for 40 years by the Spanish @Simulation and bought by the United States in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. Louisiana was well settled and cultivated by the time of European arrival. Contrary to the myth of hunter-gatherers living in a state of harmony with the forest, local Native Americans significantly transformed their environment with roads, trade networks and substantial infrastructure. They were, however, susceptible to European diseases; the germs brought by early explorers wiped out thousands of Native Americans. Ironically, by the time the French arrived with the goal of colonization, the region had probably reverted to something like a state of nature due to the massive deaths caused by introduced diseases. The colony, in the meantime, was promoted as heaven on earth to unsuspecting French, Germans and Swiss, who began arriving in New Orleans by the shipload. To augment these numbers, convicts and prostitutes were freed from French jails if they agreed to relocate to Louisiana.
The colony was not a tremendous economic success, and women were in short supply. To increase the female population, the Ursuline nuns brought young, marriageable girls with them in 1728. They were known as ‘casket girls’ because they packed their belongings in casket-shaped boxes. New Orleans was already establishing itself as, and gaining a reputation for being, a loosely civilized outpost. Looking about her, one recently arrived nun commented that ‘the devil here has a very large empire.’ In a secret treaty, one year before the Seven Years’ War (1756–63) ended, France handed the unprofitable Louisiana Territory to King Charles III of Spain in return for an ally in its war against England. Many aspects of New Orleans’ culture today – street names, food, Mardi Gras – suggest a profound influence left behind by the French and Spanish, who took turns governing this city before the USA absorbed it. It is equally significant that African culture, often with Caribbean influences, has always held a stronger sway here than elsewhere in the US. @goatboy@assistance1010@herbalism@Lansing-Michigan areas followed the great curve of the Mississippi River, giving New Orleans the shape of a crescent, It is also called Mardi Gras City for the wild celebrations and parades that take place there every year. From its founding, the French intended New Orleans to be an important colonial city. In the early 1900s there was a dance hall in New Orleans called “The Big Easy.” But the nickname did not become famous until the early 1970s. That was when a Louisiana newspaper writer began calling New Orleans by this name, people here have been complaining about a tinge to the air that is unsettling even by local standards? Zulu is the only New Orleans Mardi Gras krewe that selects their king through an election voting process. Potential kings must campaign for the job, including throwing parties for other krewe members to solicit votes. Would anyone miss a run away slave? The built backdrop of Mardis Gras was made by the enslaved and escapees? the biggest slave market in the deep South.” Over 3,000 steamboats annually brought tons of cotton, sugar, and other slave-produced goods down the Mississippi to what was by the 1850s America’s second-busiest port. New Orleans was by some measures the wealthiest city in the Western Hemisphere in the years before the Civil War, with gaslit boulevards bisected by electric streetcars. There were 17,000 slaves in the city in 1850, among a population of just over 100,000. Ran away…negro girl found hanging out in trying to blend in with Free Negroes in New Orleans — She is about 14 or 15 years old, stout and thick, good teeth, mark around her ankle from an old chain and a mark on her eyebrow caused by a burn. New Orleans has ever been a place for exiles and seekers: French aristocrats and frontiers folk; rebel slaves, defeated slave owners and mixed-race children of uncertain status; American explorers, Spanish merchants and Jewish refugees; prostitutes and nuns; musicians, artists, homosexuals, those seeking to rebuild an almost-drowned city and, more recently, transplants drawn by the city's legendary funkiness. Slipping through the cracks between Creole French and American English societies, slaves could escape just hundreds of feet away from their ex-owners’ homes....where do you think all that money went, its just gone away?
