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.
