Lyrics

[Verse 1] I could not pray, I felt so doggone Couldn't get no witness, but I did not know Then a voice in a whisper said, "you've gotta carry it on" [Refrain] And the news is gonna break The news is gonna break The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa [Verse 2] Out along the way, I got so bogged down I had some business there, I did not slow And a boy in the world said you've gotta carry it on [Refrain] And the news is gonna break The news is gonna break The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa [Verse 3] I'm not a messenger, I'm not the passenger Got some business there, but you did not know And the point of my visit, well, sir, that's to carry me on [Refrain] And the news is gonna break The news is gonna break Yeah, your noose is gonna break when I am there, whoa [Bridge 1] No Paris And no Nepal No Barstow Won't be none of them at all [Bridge 2] No Congo No Kish or Kishangargh No Memphis It doesn't matter who you are [Verse 4] I'm on my way, I feel so doggone Go 'bout your business, but you did not know And the point, if there is one, well, sir, that's to carry me on [Refrain] And the news is gonna break Your noose is gonna break Yeah, the news is gonna break that I am here, whoa [Outro] The news is gonna break that I am here, whoa And your noose is gonna break when I am there
