Clever Peasant

[Verse] In a village far away Lived a peasant wise they say Simple life he knew so well Had a secret shan't to tell [Verse 2] Dumb king ruled with iron fist Peasant met him did persist Asked a riddle made him think Left the king upon the brink [Chorus] Peasant smart in every way Outwit king that's child's play Minds collide the simple wins Clever peasant laughs and grins [Verse 3] King confused he scratched his head As the peasant's words he read Answer clear but not to him King's own wisdom was so dim [Bridge] In the courtrooms whispers grew Peasant's tales the legend true Mighty king now seen a fool Peasant taught a wiser rule [Chorus] Peasant smart in every way Outwit king that's child's play Minds collide the simple wins Clever peasant laughs and grins
