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 bell When the ship began to sail ´Twas like a bird without a tail When the bird began to fly ´Twas like an eagle on the sky When the sky began to roar ´Twas like a lion at my 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
