Paul Laurence Dunbar - Itching HeelsPaul Laurence Dunbar - Itching Heels
Work rating: Low


FU` de peace o` my eachin` heels, set down; Don` fiddle dat chune no mo`. Don` you see how dat melody stuhs me up An` baigs me to tek to de flo`? You knows I`s a Christian, good an` strong; I wusship f`om June to June; My pra`ahs dey ah loud an` my hymns ah long: I baig you don` fiddle dat chune. I`s a crick in my back an` a misery hyeah Whaih de j`ints`s gittin` ol` an` stiff, But hit seems lak you brings me de bref o` my youf; W`y, I`s suttain I noticed a w`iff. Don` fiddle dat chune no mo`, my chile, Don` fiddle dat chune no mo`; I`ll git up an` taih up dis groun` fu` a mile, An` den I`ll be chu`ched fu` it, sho`. Oh, fiddle dat chune some mo`, I say, An` fiddle it loud an` fas`: I`s a youngstah ergin in de mi`st o` my sin; De p`esent`s gone back to de pas`. I`ll dance to dat chune, so des fiddle erway; I knows how de backslidah feels; So fiddle it on `twell de break o` de day Fu` de sake o` my eachin` heels.
