There was a lad I meant no harm
So in exchange, I gave my arm
Perhaps he wouldn\'t have taken both, if I gave him no alarm
There was a man, put in a plight
And so I let him have my sight
I didn\'t believe it that harsh, but it\'s best to stay polite
There was a girl, called me a plague
To settle the lass, she took my leg
First the left, then the right, lit alight like a powder keg
There was a friend that I held dear
And yesterday, he took my ear
Again the left, again the right, losing all that made me alive
Sat by a river, the calm was nice
And to that river, I gave my life
