UNCLE TOM'S CABIN - Warrant

Just for the record let's get the story straight
Me and uncle Tom were fishin' it was gettin' pretty late
Out on a cypress limb above the wishing well
Where they say it ain't got no bottom say it take ya down ta hell

Over in the bushes and off to the right
Two men talkin' in the pale moon light
Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge
haulin' two limp bodies down to the water's edge

I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah
I know a secret that I just can't tell

They didn't see me and Tom in the tree
Neither one believin' what the other could see
Tossed in the bodies let 'em sink on down
To the bottom of the well where they'll never be found

I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah
I know a secret that I just can't tell

I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin
I know I secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin
Know who put the bodies in the wishin' well

(Solo)

Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down
Prayed real hard that we wouldn't make a sound
Runnin' through the woods back to uncle Tom's shack
Where the full moon shines through the roof-top cracks

Oh my god Tom who are we gonna tell
Sheriff, he belongs in a prison cell
Keep your mouth shut, that's what we're gonna do
unless you want to wind up in the wishin' well too

I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin, oh yeah
I know a secret that I just can't tell
I know a secret down at uncle Tom's cabin
Know who put the bodies, know who put the bodies in the wishin' well
...oh yeah
