Arrigo

Arrigo Arrigo of the rusty knife , Got bad headaches , saw things, strife, Asked a mystic man could he , Tell Arrigo what was to be, Arrigo just asked why? Dr Fritz spirit would occupy, Do some doctoring, bye n bye, Arrigo in trance would be, Dr. Fritz would set cancer free, And you didn’t die. Dr. Fritz died in World War One, to Brazil, he chose to come, Saw untimely death, was there, came the spirit helper, rare, Rip the cancer from your body, Cut it out, and painless there, Bloodless almost operation, Healing quick, no infection, yeah, Arrigo operated daily without rest, And if he took time away, Headaches visions, they returned, Back to work the only way, All this happened in the fifties, Arrigo saw the black crucifix Knew the lord would take him swiftly, Car accident, left us crossed the styx, Brazil has mourned the loss.
