Paroles de 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 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
