The Wicked Messenger |
There was a wicked messenger |
From Eli he did come, |
With a mind that multiplied |
The smallest matter. |
When questioned who had sent for him, |
He answered with his thumb, |
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter. |
He stayed behind the assembly hall, |
It was there he made his bed, |
Oftentimes he could be seen returning. |
Until one day he just appeared |
With a note in his hand which read, |
«The soles of my feet, I swear they’re burning.» |
Oh, the leaves began to fallin' |
And the seas began to part, |
And the people that confronted him were many. |
And he was told but these few words, |
Which opened up his heart, |
«If ye cannot bring good news, then don’t bring any.» |
