Uncle Tom's Cabin Songtext / Lyric

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 wishin' well

Where they say it got no bottom say it take you down to Hell



Over in the bushes and off to the right

Two men talking in the pale moonlight

Sherriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge

Haulin' two limp bodies down to the Waters' Edge



I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea

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'd never be found






I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin oh yea

I know a secret that I just can't tell

I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's Cabin

I know who put the bodies in the wishing well



(Guitar Solo)



Soon as they were gone me and Tom got down

Prayin 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 rooftop cracks



Oh my God, Tom, who are we going to tell?

The Sherriff, he belongs in a prison cell

Keep your mouth shut, that's what we're going to do

Unless you want to wind up in the wishing 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

Know who put the bodies, know who put the bodies

In the wishin well

Oh yea
