Grand Pa Falling Again-
I heard a weakened, hap tumbling
I had fell, I am falling
Someone here please catch me
I’m brittle boned can’t hardly see
Don’t quite know what’s wrong wit me
Got dizzy
When I thought of the fallen
Thinking of me falling
Much I marveled the lapsed hit
As my nose, face arms and upper torso hits
The ground, sidewalk, the bricks
I’m brittle boned can’t hardly see
Don’t quite know what’s wrong wit me
Got dizzy
I heard a weakened, happy tumbling
Then I heard a fierce snap, crackle a pop!
When I thought of me fallen
Much I marveled the lapsed hit
Once I sat engaged and slumping
Then I juz got myself, jest got up
The spiked slide slowing
the dead drop dying
the depressed deceased drooping
the sputtering sag stumbling
Yeah, you know I just keep falling
I have fallen and I can git up
I was a fall and you a hit
And the plummets never hanging just watch this
the lower, lower lessening
Spurring and spurring with my slump stirring
Ah! distinctly I was landing, ever so just kept falling
I was a fell and you a tumble
This is how I got this knot on my head I don’t remember
