There Was A Man Of Double Deed |
There was a man of double deed Who sowed his garden full of seed. When the seed began to grow ´Twas like a garden full of snow, When the snow began to melt ´Twas like a ship without a belt, When the ship began to sail ´Twas like a bird without a tail, When the bird began to fly ´Twas like an eagle in the sky, When the sky began to roar ´Twas like a lion at the door, When the door began to crack ´Twas like a stick across my back, When my back began to smart ´Twas like a penknife in my heart, When my heart began to bleed ´Twas death and death and death indeed. |
