There Was A Man Of Double Deed (w: Anon) lyrics
by And Also The Trees



There was a man of double deedWho sowed his garden full of seedWhen the seed began to grow'Twas like a garden full of snowWhen the snow began to melt'Twas like a ship without a bellWhen the ship began to sail'Twas like a bird without a tailWhen the bird began to fly'Twas like an eagle on the skyWhen the sky began to roar'Twas like a lion at my doorWhen the door began to crack'Twas like a stick across my backWhen my back began to smart'Twas like a penknife in my heartWhen my heart began to bleed'Twas death, and death, and death indeed
