lyrics

The poor, poor miller gave his daughter to the king
Lied and told a story of the gold she could bring
With greed as the motive, and beauty the price
You only find evil through the Devil’s eyes… yeah

The little man bargained and takin’ everything he can
Spinnin’ and wheelin’ that straw into gold
Started with her necklace, her ring, then her clothes
Now she’s cryin’ out naked, cold and alone… yeah

Can you guess, can you guess my name?
Can you guess, can you guess my name?
Can you guess, can you guess my name?
Can you guess, can you guess my name?

With one last promise, the deal was done
She swore to give the little man her firstborn son
His lame little legs skipped away with joy
He knew one day he’d have his own little boy… yeah

The lady had her baby she’d forgot about the day that the
Wisecrack would come back to pick up his prize
She cried out “please don’t take him away”
I’ll give your boy back if you can guess my name… yeah

Can you guess, can you guess my name? (I don’t think so)
Can you guess, can you guess my name?
Can you guess, can you guess my name? (I don’t think so)
Can you guess, can you guess my name?

Now around the fire, you hear him singin’ along
He thinks that he’s won, he doesn’t know that he’s wrong
As the smoke rises up to the big blood moon
He yells out his name but he’s spoken too soon
And now you see that things aren’t always as they seem
When the devil strikes up a deal
But if you look real close you can see that love is real… Mmm

Can you guess, can you guess my name?
Can you guess, can you guess my name?
(I think I can, I know I can!)

Can you guess, can you guess my name? I don’t think so!
(Roast Ribs, Sheepshanks, Conrad, No)
Can you guess, can you guess my name?
(Bandy Legs, Balthazar, no, I don’t think so)
Can you guess, can you guess my name? I don’t think so!
(Roast Ribs, Sheepshanks, Conrad, No)
Can you guess, can you guess my name?
(Bandy Legs, Balthazar, no, I don’t think so)
