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