Wicked Messenger

[Verse 1]

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 a thumb

For his tongue, it could not speak, but only flatter

[Verse 2]

He stayed behind the assembly hall, it was there that he made his bed

And oftentimes he could be seen returning

Ohhhh

Till one day he just appeared with a note in his hand which read

"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"

Whoo-hoo-hoo hoo

[Verse 3]

The leaves began a-fallin', and the seas began to part

And the people that confronted him were many

Oh-oh-ohh

The leaves began a-fallin', and the seas began to part

And the people that confronted him were many

And he was told these last few words, which opened up his heart

"If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any" (Whoo)

Oh-oh-ohh

If you cannot bring good news, then don't bring any

Whooo hoo-hoo-hoo

Ohhhh

It opened up his heart

One so used to this time [?]

Whoo-hoo-hoo
