[Verse 1]
F     G
There was a wicked messenger
                F
From Eli he did come,
       G                                 F G
With a mind that multiplied the smallest matter.
     G
When questioned who had sent for him,
                     F
He answered with his thumb,
        G                                   F  G
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.
 
[Verse 2]
   G
He stayed behind the assembly hall,
                         F
It was there he made his bed,
G                             F  G
Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
  G
Until one day he just appeared
                           F
With a note in his hand I read,
      G                                F   G
"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."

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