Just for the record

Lets get the story straight

Me and Uncle Tom were fishing

It was getting 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

Come 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 trees

Neither one believing

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

CHORUS

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 in the wishing well

Soon as they were gone

Me and Tom got down

Pray' real hard

That we wouldn't make a sound

Runing throught he woods

Back to Uncle Tom's shack

Where the full moon shines

Through the roof tile cracks

Oh my God, Tom, who are we gonna tell

The sheriff he belongs in a prison cell

Keep your mouth shut

That's what we're gonna do

Unless you wanna wind up

In the wishin' well too

CHORUS

Oh yeah, ha ch ch ch cha
