Song | The Wicked Messenger |
Artist | Thea Gilmore |
Album | John Wesley Harding |
[00:01.05] | music |
[00:08.04] | There was a wicked messenger |
[00:10.03] | From Eli he did come |
[00:13.51] | With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter |
[00:20.79] | When questioned who had sent for him |
[00:22.64] | He answered with his thumb |
[00:26.17] | For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter |
[00:30.36] | music |
[00:46.44] | He stayed behind the assembly hall |
[00:53.50] | It was there he made his bed |
[00:53.88] | Oftentimes he could be seen returning |
[00:57.87] | Until one day he just appeared |
[01:00.49] | With a note in his hand which read |
[01:04.48] | “The soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning” |
[01:09.40] | music |
[01:22.85] | Oh, the leaves began to fallin’ |
[01:26.71] | And the seas began to part |
[01:30.14] | And the people that confronted him were many |
[01:36.03] | And he was told but these few words |
[01:38.44] | Which opened up his heart |
[01:43.11] | “If ye cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any” |
