[00:06.58]There was a wicked messenger
[00:09.25]From Eli he did come,
[00:11.32]
[00:13.25]With a mind that multiplied
[00:15.69]The smallest matter.
[00:17.37]
[00:19.24]When questioned who had sent for him,
[00:22.05]He answered with his thumb,
[00:24.11]
[00:25.92]For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter.
[00:29.73]
[00:44.51]He stayed behind the assembly hall,
[00:47.44]It was there he made his bed,
[00:49.44]
[00:51.81]Oftentimes he could be seen returning.
[00:54.94]
[00:57.43]Until one day he just appeared
[01:00.12]With a note in his hand which read,
[01:02.42]
[01:04.23]"The soles of my feet, I swear they're burning."
[01:07.99]
[01:22.49]Oh, the leaves began to fallin'
[01:24.92]And the seas began to part,
[01:27.17]
[01:29.47]And the people that confronted him were many.
[01:33.34]
[01:35.22]And he was told but these few words,
[01:38.08]Which opened up his heart,
[01:40.14]
[01:41.95]"If ye cannot bring good news, then don't bring any."
