GUEST,Grouser	Lyr ADD: Don't Try It for It Can't Be Done (44)	RE: Lyr Req: Don't Try It for It Can't Be Done	05 Mar 16
The line in question doesn't seem to make much sense and is either a blown line as suggested or an arcane idiom. I hear "punching a/the bag" at the close of the line and the garbled words to me sound like either "bring water for", or "dream wonderful", but I've been going with this: "you might raise wonder for punching a bag" since the next two claims in the stanza use the word "raise". The last stanza says Ford, though gourd makes sense as well.
