There was a wicked messenger
A
From Eli he did come

With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter

When questioned who had sent for him
A
He answered with his thumb
B
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
[Interlude]

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

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

[Verse 3]
B
Oh, the leaves began to falling
A
And the seas began to part
B
And the people that confronted him were many

And he was told but these few words
A
Which opened up his heart
B
"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any"
