Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken Word Intro] You may know this one If you do, help me sing it If you don't know it, just listen and I hope you dig it Why thank you, but it was empty [Intro] 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 Say it got no bottom, say it take you down to hell [Verse 1] Over in the bushes and off to the right Two men talkin' in the pale moonlight Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hess Two limp bodies down to the water's edge [Chorus] A secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin, yeah-yeah I know a secret that I just can't tell [Verse 2] 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 Bottom of the well, where they'd never be found [Chorus] A secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin, yeah-yeah I know a secret that I just can't tell Know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin Know a secret that I just can't tell Know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin Know who put the bodies in the [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] "Oh my God, Tom, we gonna tell? Sheriff, he belongs in a prison cell" "Your mouth shut, what we're gonna do 'Less you wanna wind up in the wishin' well, too," yeah [Chorus] Know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin Know a secret that I just can't tell Know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin, yeah, yeah Oh, a secret that I just can't tell Ooh, I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin [Outro] Know who put the bodies, bodies, bodies I said, I know who put the bodies, yeah Who put the bodies Give me a little groove, buddy I know who put the bodies In the Wishin' well [Instrumental Break] [Spoken Word Outro] Whoa, Detroit, kick my ass What a feeling
