Best Poems Written by Christopher Harmon

Walking Blues

I lost the bounce
I lost the o’ one two bounce
in my step and stride

when she told me to go
when she told me I had to go

and I can’t dance
I can’t dance no mo’
the tired swagger holds me down
like I’ve never been down before

‘cause she told me to go
‘cause she told me I had to go

she told me to go
(so I) slumber and sag my head low
and I can’t sing no mo’
‘cause I had to go
‘cause she told me to go

I lost the bounce
I lost the o’ one two bounce

when I left her that day

I lost the bounce
I lost the o’ one two bounce
when she told me to go.
