0:23There was a wicked messenger
0:26From Eli he did come
0:30With a mind that multiplied
0:34The smallest matter
0:38When questioned who had sent for him
0:41He answered with his thumb
0:45For his tongue it could not speak but only flatter
0:52He stayed behind the assembly hall
0:56It was there he made his bed
1:00Oftentimes he could be seen returning
1:07Until one day he just appeared
1:10With a note in his hand which read
1:14The soles of my feet I swear they`re burning
2:17Oh the leaves began to fallin`
2:20And the seas began to part
2:23And the people that confronted him were many
2:30And he was told but these few words
2:33Which opened up his heart
2:37If ye cannot bring good news then don`t bring any
There was a wicked messenger From Eli he did come With a mind that multiplied The smallest matter When questioned who had sent for him He answered with his thumb For his tongue it could not speak but only flatter He stayed behind the assembly hall It was there he made his bed Oftentimes he could be seen returning Until one day he just appeared With a note in his hand which read The soles of my feet I swear they`re burning Oh the leaves began to fallin` And the seas began to part And the people that confronted him were many And he was told but these few words Which opened up his heart If ye cannot bring good news then don`t bring any
