It Don’t Work Anymore

It don’t work anymore
Not like it did before
Somebody came and busted it up
Just like a broken cup

It don’t work anymore
It don’t run like it did before
It’s a mess that nobody can fix
A pile of broken sticks

The pressure dropped
The hammer cocked
The boy and girl left town
The winter wind
The summer gin
The song has gone around

It don’t work anymore
No way it can be like before
The line won’t hold and the mainsail tore
It just don’t work anymore

From the CD titled When We Danced on Cool Groove Records CD 110
