| There’s a man goin' 'round takin' names,
|
| Well there’s a man goin' 'round takin' names.
|
| He took my father’s name,
|
| And he left my heart in pain,
|
| There’s a man goin' 'round takin' names.
|
| An' he took that liar’s name, takin' names,
|
| He took that liar’s name, takin' names.
|
| He took that liar’s name,
|
| His tongue got twisted and it died in shame,
|
| There’s a man goin' 'round takin' names.
|
| When the child saw the man takin' names,
|
| What a funny, what a funny game, takin' names!
|
| He took his brother’s name,
|
| And he took his father’s name,
|
| When the child saw the man takin' names.
|
| And there’s a king on the throne takin' names,
|
| There’s a king on the throne takin' names;
|
| And there’s a priest in flames,
|
| And the court’s gone insane,
|
| And the king’s sittin' there takin' names.
|
| I had a dream, I had a dream,
|
| I had a dream last night that worried me,
|
| It worried me.
|
| Trees were bending, people were trembling,
|
| I had a dream that worried me, that worried me, worried me.
|
| There’s a man goin' 'round takin' names,
|
| There’s a man goin' 'round takin' names.
|
| He took my father’s name,
|
| And he left me there in pain,
|
| There’s a man goin' 'round takin' names. |
