There was a wicked messenger

From Eli he did come

When questioned who had sent for him
F
He answered with his thumb
G
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

He stayed behind the assembly hall
F
It was there he made his bed
G
Oftentimes he could be seen returning

Until one day he just appeared

With a note in his hand which read
G
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"

[Verse 3]
G
Oh, the leaves began to falling
F
And the seas began to part
G
And the people that confronted him were many
G
And he was told but these few words
F
Which opened up his heart
G
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
