Performer: Paul Robeson.
Lyrics: Traditional.
Tune: Traditional.
There’s a man going ’round taking names,
There’s a man going ’round taking names,
He has taken my mother’s name and has left my heart in vain,
There’s a man going ’round taking names.
There’s a man going ’round taking names (taking names),
There’s a man going ’round taking names (taking names),
He has taken my father’s name and has left my heart in vain,
There’s a man going ’round taking names.
Now, Death is the man taking names,
Yes, Death is the man taking names,
He has taken my brother’s name and has left my heart in vain,
There’s a man going ’round taking names.
