There was a wicked messenger

When questioned who had sent for him

He answered with his thumb

For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter

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

Oh, the leaves began to falling
D#
And the seas began to part

"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
