There was a wicked messenger |
| [00:09.25] |
From Eli he did come, |
| [00:11.32] |
|
| [00:13.25] |
With a mind that multiplied |
| [00:15.69] |
The smallest matter. |
| [00:17.37] |
|
| [00:19.24] |
When questioned who had sent for him, |
| [00:22.05] |
He answered with his thumb, |
| [00:24.11] |
|
| [00:25.92] |
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter. |
| [00:29.73] |
|
| [00:44.51] |
He stayed behind the assembly hall, |
| [00:47.44] |
It was there he made his bed, |
| [00:49.44] |
|
| [00:51.81] |
Oftentimes he could be seen returning. |
| [00:54.94] |
|
| [00:57.43] |
Until one day he just appeared |
| [01:00.12] |
With a note in his hand which read, |
| [01:02.42] |
|
| [01:04.23] |
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning." |
| [01:07.99] |
|
| [01:22.49] |
Oh, the leaves began to fallin' |
| [01:24.92] |
And the seas began to part, |
| [01:27.17] |
|
| [01:29.47] |
And the people that confronted him were many. |
| [01:33.34] |
|
| [01:35.22] |
And he was told but these few words, |
| [01:38.08] |
Which opened up his heart, |
| [01:40.14] |
|
| [01:41.95] |
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any." |
