As sure as Nile's growing and gathering
As fast as a mile done with those angel wings
As blue as Lightnin' moanin' 'bout catfish
As sure as fire screaming for jubilee
How come you're always with the others
Making my brain go bad
As sick as Skip when words came among the poor
You may get better, but never get well no more"
