Intro :
There w as a wicked messenger
From Eli he did c ome
With a m ind that multiplied the smallest matter
When q uestioned who had sent for him
He answered with his t humb
For his t ongue it could not speak but only flatter
He s tayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his b ed
Oftent imes he could be seen returning
Unt il one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand which r ead
"The s oles of my feet I swear they're burning"
Oh the l eaves began to falling
And the seas began to p art
And the p eople that confronted him were many
And h e was told but these few words
Which opened up his h eart
"If ye c annot bring good news then don't bring any"
