[Verse 1]
C
There was a wicked messenger
A#
From Eli he did come
C
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter
C
When questioned who had sent for him
A#
He answered with his thumb
C
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[Interlude]

C
He stayed behind the assembly hall
A#
It was there he made his bed

Oftentimes he could be seen returning

Until one day he just appeared
A#
With a note in his hand which read
C
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning"
[Interlude]

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